Hey Ryoon,  Is that a R/D something or another?  I'd love to see an unbraced pic.  Looks a bit "V" bowish now ;)

Yah, Wow. That bow is doing a lot of bending at the fades.

Looks like "V" bows are the new fad lately :)

All I can say is yikes!  I hope you shoot with safety glasses!

All kidding aside, I'd try to get the mid-outer limbs bending a bit more there bud!

Yeah Cam, I think I stole that "V' bow thing from you but I like it ;D

I've seen his bows and he does good work so I'm gonna give benefit of the doubt for now that's there's a reason for the "V" until we see unbraced. ;)

Even a R/D should have a rounder tiller shape.

The last picture in Rich's OP is why I'm withholding critique, looks like quite the "V" bow to me..... http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,4724.msg65028.html#msg65028

Hehe. This is why I posted the full draw pic first. Tiller looks awful if this were supposed to be a bend through the handle bow. Thanks for the support NTD. I won't get to finishing it for a while just because I can't work on it while at school but I'll be sure to post pics as soon as I do. I guess for now you guys can just guess what style bow it is.  ;D

I saw only one picture. That is doing all of its bending right at the handle which is not good. Jawge

Style...my guess would be a flat pyramid bow, widest at the grip, tapering  to about 1/2 " at the tip, no handle section at all.

Nice...un braced profile I'm guess hard deflex out the handle and a continuous recurve through out the limb.

I'm with Nate, and thinking the unbraced profile supports the full draw picture.  Looking forward to seeing that...  The full draw pic makes almost a perfect diamond if you look at the string and the limbs!!  I think you'll give every bowyer a near heart attack though by showing them just the FD picture lol!!  ;D

Dang it man, where is that other photo that will make it make sense. Because when I first saw that full draw, all I could think of was  "oh the horror, the horror".  :D

I'll post pics as soon as I get a finish on it. Both the braced and front view profile of this bow allow for such a tiller, at least to my logic.  ::)

Hey Ryan, what happened to more pics of this bow? I'd like to see a braced and unbraced profile.

I know you can't wait to relentlessly criticize my bow adb but unfortunately I haven't had time to finish it or take more pictures because I am at school. Two more weeks.

Good grief, Ryan... give it a rest. Your bow has a very unusual full draw profile, and I am genuinely interested in it. I am not interested in 'relentlessly criticizing' something I haven't seen.
