Let me preface this post with the following statement.  THIS IS A PROTOTYPE!  :)

I finished this one guys.  My first three piece takedown.  She is the most stable shooting platform that I have played with.  I had some issues with alignment, but shouldn't have the same problems with the next one.  Both limbs are out of alignment, resulting in some limb twist.  She still shoots like a dream!  I decided to finish her out and make her my hunting bow.  She is 60" NTN, and draws 51@28.  I was shooting for a longbow, but like this one because she is unique.  I call her my "Wassaw" semi-recurve.  What do you think?













I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables!

Great looker! I like the geometry. Great looking shelf too. Plus, you can spell it forward or backward and it is still the same.

Looks pallindromic! Interesting design.

Wow ,That's a step away from your usual style, I kinda like it. It has a bit of several different designs all wrapped in one....kind'a cool!   :thumbsup:

The riser is just a little too radical for me. Of course, I'm not fond of Black Widow or Habu risers either. They just don't appeal to me.

Great workmanship and I am sure it shoots like you say, I'm just not crazy about the look.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

turned out great. i keep trying to figure out why the riser shape is so familiar, and i think it looks kinda like a greek sculpture i saw awhile back. glad you got it figured out though and shooting good.

Very interesting style. No exactly my thing but the craftsmanship looks superb.

Very interesting!

Do you think you'll play around with different riser lengths?  Are you planning on making a recurve/longbow option?  I know too many questions!!!

Looks awesome!

Workmanship looks impeccable but the riser design is not my cup of tea.

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.

The recessed limb bolts are a nice touch.

that's the ugliest pretty bow I've ever seen.  Odd but mysteriously appealing.  I think all told, I like it.

Marty,
I followed along as you were developing this bow and I appreciate the extra work you did taking pictures and posting it all.  It is  not an easy task to come up with a whole new design from what you are accustomed to doing.  I think you did a great job, especially being the first.  You're talented and it shows.
Nicely done!

Regards,
Rick
