Wow, I would have thought about shortening it to raise the draw weight, but splitting the fiberglass and recurving it is next level genius!.

Great idea with the lower position of the handle and the symmetrical arrangement of the shelves - you can shoot both Mediterranean from the left shelf and Eastern style from the right shelf! Cool!)

Recurving the bow increases its strength by 200%!

Great project.  (but then again you could just go out and buy a 30# bow)  I have been shooting for over 70 years, even owned an archery store, and now still have a collection of about 45 bows in my garage.  I have taught many boys and girls to shoot, and get into archery.  I think this man has hit upon a fabulous project for a father and son or daughter.  Doctor George Whitehead

Really nice, I subbed! This makes me ask why they don't make bows like this as a standard, very light, short and efficient bows.

I'm still rather early in my archery training but everything about the sport enraptures me. I love this channel already with this vid and hope to see so much more!

They Assyrian bow structure always brings the most explosive power in any bow shape with it's perfect reflex-deflex structure packing one of the oldest yet, the most efficient bow designs in bow history.

I personally thought you did a Bang Up job my friend. Very impressed. 👍

Good work. I've work on bows a bit here and there and honestly this guy has done a good job 👏

Never thought of this and how well it worked!

very nice transformation

They do make recurve bows especially if your into Renaissance festival and faires be because thats what they use besides long bows and cross bows

nice... try making a Penobscot bow like this,  then you'll have a light weight bow if you only string the mane bow, and a heavy weight with both strung.. plus they shoot so sweet (I'm biased as these are my people)

I will try this, thanks for the idea

Nice idea, now you can try gluing two of this bows together, but just partially, like maybe 1/2 the center, and don’t cut the long one at all.

That little bow looks like a sweet shooter. Nice job on the modifications. It is the kind of bow I would like to have on a GOOD pack, the Get-out-of-dodge kind.

fascinating transformation

Super cool project.

nice creation there bro !!!
