Frank, what do you mean by "performance" if not speed?  What else do they enhance?

Hey Sam. Performance is the Whole package! Speed has always been the " Urban Legend" of h.p. strings!

Built thousands and have shot them on my self, sinew and backed bows since 1990. Try for yourself!

Good shootin to ya, too!

Frank, do they reduce noise and vibration?

Great looking bows, Sam.  Really nice work.
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

The Singapore bow worked great for a while. I took it to 3-D shoots and shot it a lot in my sister's back yard. It was my favourite bow for a while there. Then a guy in Australia emailed me, and he really wanted the bow, so I sold it to him.
And I love it! Thanks for that, Sam. And great builds here, good to see you're getting your hand back to making things.

Nice job sam
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

Hi Sam!
I was looking again these bows and I'm curious about some things:

1)  Did you reflex these bows in the same way at the last build-along ( Bamboo backed  Osage )??

2) What the overall length of these bows?

3) The limbs in ipe are a 3/8 inch?  ( I'm trying to understantd the specs...   :)   )

thank you very much, and congrats again!   ;)
