Primitive Archer

Id like to see how far that bow can shoot. It would be an interesting contender for the Primitive complex composite unlimited category in flight shooting. I am certainly standing by for the chrono numbers Tuomo.

That's the bow, Pappy. Glenn Doane sent me the article and the dimensions of the bow to get me started on it. Thanks for posting this pic. 

Excellent!!! 

I don't think I have posted about this specific bow here. It's 50#28" and measures somewhat 66"ntn I think and its around 36mm wide. I generally make these 64"-66" and around 33-36mm in width.
I do play with virtual bow from time to time and I'm always impressed of how exact it can mirror reality. It's an eye opener in many aspects. When it comes to reflex you are probably right about heavy bows. With light bows reflex helps a lot with performance imho. Best think about is the higher initial string tension and the resulting smooth drawcurve. I just love that. With heavy bows I wouldn't recommend either - these also don't need that little + in energy storage.
I have also heard that Madake was superior to Moso. But when I buy my bamboo from the big bamboo trader he sells me "Moso (Madake)" hahaha....still confused....

Got her to Clarksville yesterday evening, she is at Tnnova rehab, she will probably be there for 10/14 days, she made the trip fine and things are looking up, I finely got a good night's sleep in my own bed, I can't spend the night there so will be going back and forth, I need to stay out of her way, she needs to be focused on getting her strength  back and not worried about me. :)headed to the farm early this morning for the first time in almost a month, hope the girls remember me. I can hardly wait !!!! It been a long haul but I truly believe we are getting there now. Thanks for you thoughts and prayers, it has meant a lot to me and her.  :)Now just maybe we can start to get back to some kind of normal. It has been some kind of adventure for sure.  Life is Good
