  Nice bow...  I could be wrong because limb shape could be throwing me off and it's a shorter bow than what I am familiar with, but it looks like you could spread that bend out a little more...

Very nice. The design reminds me of Firefly Bows.

 I see what you are saying...  I wonder if a tad more bend would be better or worse...  Stiffer last half of limb smoother draw... More bend could give better performance...

That pic is at 28” draw and I’m more in the 26 1/2” range. I’d have to look at my notes but I think I went with .001 total taper and no tip wedge on this one. Probably the only one I’ll build since I’m more of a one piece guy. I had to build one to add to the collection though.

That riser may need to be shorter. With more deflex.
