Let me preface this post with the following statement. THIS IS A PROTOTYPE!

I finished this one guys. My first three piece takedown. She is the most stable shooting platform that I have played with. I had some issues with alignment, but shouldn't have the same problems with the next one. Both limbs are out of alignment, resulting in some limb twist. She still shoots like a dream! I decided to finish her out and make her my hunting bow. She is 60" NTN, and draws 51@28. I was shooting for a longbow, but like this one because she is unique. I call her my "Wassaw" semi-recurve. What do you think?

Great looker! I like the geometry. Great looking shelf too. Plus, you can spell it forward or backward and it is still the same.

Looks pallindromic! Interesting design.

Wow ,That's a step away from your usual style, I kinda like it. It has a bit of several different designs all wrapped in one....kind'a cool!

The riser is just a little too radical for me. Of course, I'm not fond of Black Widow or Habu risers either. They just don't appeal to me.

Great workmanship and I am sure it shoots like you say, I'm just not crazy about the look.

turned out great. i keep trying to figure out why the riser shape is so familiar, and i think it looks kinda like a greek sculpture i saw awhile back. glad you got it figured out though and shooting good.

Very interesting style. No exactly my thing but the craftsmanship looks superb.

Nice, I like it...

Very interesting!

Do you think you'll play around with different riser lengths? Are you planning on making a recurve/longbow option? I know too many questions!!!

Looks awesome!

I just want to hold it and see how it feels. I think you need to send it to canada

Workmanship looks impeccable but the riser design is not my cup of tea.

The recessed limb bolts are a nice touch.

that's the ugliest pretty bow I've ever seen. Odd but mysteriously appealing. I think all told, I like it.

Marty,
I followed along as you were developing this bow and I appreciate the extra work you did taking pictures and posting it all. It is not an easy task to come up with a whole new design from what you are accustomed to doing. I think you did a great job, especially being the first. You're talented and it shows.
Nicely done!

Regards,
Rick
