a few members have asked to see some of my bows, so here goes i am going to attempt to send pictures of my 3 latest bows, i hope this works and i dont send the wrong pictures!! never sent pictures before.
1- bamboo backed hickory recurve( greenish colour) 66" 55# 2 1/2" of reflex
2-bamboo backed hickory recurve 66" 58# 1 1/2" of reflex
3-bamboo backed ipe, straight bow with 1" of reflex, also 66"
if I do say so my self!!! they all shoot pretty good but the ipe bow is the fastest, and i find the easiest to be accurate with, the 55# recurve is slightly faster than the 58# with the smaller recurves
