Very nice Ken!

Can we get a look at the back/belly?
Do those tips narrow like a Holmegaard or your famous Mollegabets?

That is nice, you are really knocking them out and making me feel lazy just like DVS is doing.

What makes it classified as a Horse bow?
Is it the shape?
Also, would that be a shoot of the hand bow with or without a padded grip?

Great job.

Holy smokes!  I would love that design. I have one of the infamous seigeworks sidwinders that looks just like that.  I love the shape and feel of that design.  Obviously you used no fiberglass which really interests me.  Perhaps you could share a build along with us on the next one?  If you are so inclined you could share you build specs and techniques in this thread.  I am really wanting to do one like that.
Great job.

Looks fast, nice job, very interesting design. How thick are the limbs at midsection, they look to be about 400 thou. Of course its hard to tell from the picture alone.

thanks guys its a hard shooting bow, might take some getting used to for accuracy like my selfbows. but overall it was fun to build and i have another one going soon with a few changes like static recurves and a thinner handle.
