Horn from leftovers from the side of the horns.

5 mm thickness 25 cm in total horn.

522 grams weight finished bow. I think with out the big handle i could make it less then 400 grams.

740 pages 615 grain arrow. Shoot from my laminated bow falco carbon 75# @28" and the Black locust bow 80# @28"
2 times shoot thru the same whole with my laminated bow. The black locust bow penetrated the books +1 inch the modern bow could not penetrate the books even when drawing more then 28".

Hehe, it's a hornbow

I'm impressed that those horn patches stay on without any wrapping.

Nice bow Dedi! And interesting experiment! Well 58inch is quite short (without backing?) Indeed black locust strong in tension
