Thanks again Kenny
This is what I got so far. I think I might have pushed the limit with this design, not sure if I can call it a longbow, hybrid, or recurve. Got about 3/4" of the string touching the belly at 8" brace. It smokes a 625gr arrow though and it pulls 63 @ 28.

That was quick! And good looking bow

That is a awesome looking bow! Love the profile both strung and unstrung!

Great looking bow.  I love the color of the riser.

[Roy from Pa]

I guess it's Ok:)

[mwosborn]

Very nice Cory.  Really like that design.

[bigbob2]

under our rules of shoot over here it would be considered a recurve as the string is in contact with a part of the belly. Don't matter what you might want to call it still a great looking bow and i bet it does smoke an arrow!

[scottm]

cool!nice work!

[MoeM]

Guess it`s more kind of "hybrid"- or better some really sweet looking hybrid that gets all my four thumbs going up high!

[Buemaker]

Excellent work. Bue--.  

[kennym]

Good looker Cory!!  I bet she is quick!

[BCWV]

That's nice!

[LittleBen]

I call it a hybrid, and definitely my favorite style. Just a bit of contact between the string and belly.

Very nice bow. Just out of curiosity, what kind of taper did you use? specs including stack would be awesome.

[Beanbag]

Nice!

That is a wonderfullly looking bow. I especially like the way the transition between fades and limbs look, especially when drawn. I have been playing with the idea of trying to make a one-piece recurve, which will be my first (I only made one longbow and one takedown recurve, plus a pair of recurve limbs), and this is a great inspiration. If you don't mind, I will try to achieve something similar.

I can't pull a 63# bow, being a small guy, but perhaps I can get something around #40-45...if you can give me some pointers on stack and tapers to achieve something similar, that would be great. This bow of yours really impressed me. Many congratulations, and may it serve you well!

It came in came in at 73 to start had to work my butt of to get her to 62.5 I think im gonna take a bit out of the deflex and add that to the deflex, I think that will give me a bit more speed.
