I haven't finished any horn bow yet, but what i have seen different bows i would say the bend is a bit too much in one area. It would be better to make sal area longer. I've understood many people have found out their bows work a lot better and hold more reflex with longer sal sections.

Yes your bending section is too concentrated. Your bend is better for a flight bow. Work on allowing the limbs to bend further along the sal into the kasan eye. Maybe even make the sals longer, kasan shorter on your next bow.
