Awesome!  Really like those long, somewhat milder hooks, beautiful strung profile.  Draw looks great too! The bend through the first 2/3's is perfect, super nice shape.  Have you considered increasing the thickness taper a bit?  Looks like the hooks could unfurl a little more, but maybe not, the dynamics of a recurve are considerably trickier than longbows haha. Hows it shoot?

Makes me want to build a curve. Very nice bow. I like the wood combo

Thanks y'all. It shoots great!  I've only got a 26" draw so this one really opens up at 28-29" out to 31-32"
