I'm in again for sure. It was fun last year. I learned a lot and got to know all the participants a little better. The ample time available kinda takes the stress out of it and I even had to make a plan B at the last minute.

Right handed
28"-30" draw preferred, but shortie recurves are fun too.
45-65 lbs preferred, please nothing lower than 35 lbs. That's the minimum hunting draw weight in my state.

As long as the guy making mine has fun with it, I'm happy.
I have nothing but scorn for all weird ideas other than my own.

Don't forget to start a separate progress thread for everyone to post pics and have Q & A in.

Forgot to ask, please say if there is anywhere you are not prepared to ship to- if you get paired with an overseas victim, shipping can get pricey

Why not, lets give this a try.

Right hand
50-60lbs (won't be upset if it ends up lighter)
31-33 inch draw (I'm a tall guy and this is my true draw, but haven't been able to make on this long yet so I get if it's asking too much)
Don't care about the design as long as it can handle the above and has good tiller.
Greg,
No risk, no gain. Expand the mold and try new things.

Haha, yeah it might. Good luck shipping anything like that. I'm 6'2" so a bow my height (74") or longer should do the trick without too much strain right? A little long for my taste but i don't have a long bow yet.

Now that's my taste haha. But I wouldn't expect anyone to put forth the effort to make a asiatic horn bow...unless they wanted to  ;)
