Brian, I can see where you could relieve the outer limb on that one limb I can see in the pic and that would give you an inch. If the other limb is similar there is another inch.

Thanks everyone.

Bob I’m toying with the idea of getting a little more bend in my outer limbs. I have been shooting it for a couple weeks and it feels good, but it would be nice to get another inch of draw.

Looks great Brian. Good bend for sure. I found over the years that most of my bows ended up naming themselves.

Bows / Re: American Elm v. Slippery Elm.

I have American(White), Slippery(Red), and Winged(Cork) on my farm.  The American and Slippery weigh 35-37# per cubic foot while the Winged weighs about 47#.  Heat treated Winged elm makes great bow wood I think.  If you can find dead leaves beneath the tree, American has an uneven base while the others are even.

That's the perfect name for that little bow.   :OK  I think you're right about getting another inch out of it.  I shot a 50" sinew backed osage bow with a stiff handle that pulled 50@27".  It was a great hunting bow until I let it go.  It's amazing how little wood it actually takes...
