Wow, from unbraced to full draw those tips look to be traveling farther than the bow is long!  Looks like you are mastering these horn bows.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thanks everybody. The cost of the horns and time spend in construction makes this build a little stressful but when everything works out iin the end it is worth it. Mullet, I am 5 10 and have almost a fathom(6ft wing span). People tell me I must be drawing the bows I post further but that arrow is only 23" to the point. My full draw to my mouth is only 26". I think with short bows I crane my neck foreward a bit to compensate

that's a masterpiece!

I would like to see more pics, esp. some details of handle and tips.
How did you prepare the horn before sinewing?
Is there any wood inside?
