Beautiful bow. The finishing looks amazing.  Those colors really pop.  Nice to see those bends without horn.  Can we get a full draw pic?

I like that. Is it actually faster with a heavier arrow or is that a misprint?

Beautifully constructed and finished bow.Outstanding resilience from your bamboo from the over draw.Did you do any tempering to your bamboo?I see you like details a little & testing also on this bow and bows you've posted in the past.Would it be possible to see a fdc graph on this bow also?I'm sure it's a pleasant bow to shoot.

This is great, 32" draw out of such a bow is everything I'd want. Very nice shape. Would like to see full draw to 32" as well

I like that. Is it actually faster with a heavier arrow or is that a misprint?
The lighter arrow was with 29" draw, the heavier with 32"

DC,, I think if he shot the lighter arrow at 32 inches, it would be faster,, if i understand his post,, )P(

I was thinking that the 29" was the arrow length.

I think he shot with two different arrows, one at 29 and the other at 32

Very cool!

No horn needed with such a traditional hornbow shape!

It is possible!
