Seems the outer 1/3 of the limbs aren't working enough. But that's my amatuer opinion. Great job BTW. Love the wood used in the handle.

Finally,I accomplished my dream since 5 years ago.
I builded 5~6 TD recurve 5 years ago,but w\\o longbow and 1 pc recurve.After long long break,I encourage my self to start again.

My TD recurve are fast,stable and highly accurate,and turly no hand shock.

My 1 pc recurve as good as my TD.

I underestimate the endeavor of longbow building,and I make a BIG basic mistake on longbow structure ! I almost give it up.
I have to say THANK YOU to those who gave me some opinion and advice.This longbow is my first one and perhaps last one.

Now I need to take a break in order to catch my breath.And I have to say THANK YOU to those who join in this thread.

I received arrow building meterial from Bingham yesterday,and another 3 TD bow meterial from Fedora in the air,but I need a rest to heals my sore finger.
