Pic of normal longbow in front of this one. You can see how flat the 3-piece limbs are

You will be able to use a thicker stack and have better vertical stability with that flat spot, and using a tip wedge will shorten the working section. Use long lean butt wedges, an .003 FT with a straight taper narrow width profile. It's got good potential .

It does have about a 5" tip wedge. We will see

I will be interesting your thoughts of the two different limb designs once yo7 have tested it and run it through the paces.  Have you set up a shooting machine and a tiller tree where you can do DFC charts?
