Looking really good!

One of these times I'm going to have to break down and at least attempt a real horn bow; sure would be nice to find someone I could apprentice with!

Your bow turned out beautiful and gave me some needed inspirations. Thank you for sharing!

Did you use a specific bow as a pattern, or were you putting together many mongol bows and make the best out of it?

It looks a well made bow with a very good full draw profile. From your YouTube video it seems to shoot smoothly. Is there much stack in that last two inches?
