Thanks for the info, good stuff

Option 2

I like both aesthetics , if I got the 2nd one, I'd add a bright red to accent the brown wood.

I have used brace height adjustment to finish tune an arrow set up. Now I am talking only about 3 turns of the string one way or the other.

Just ordered a bunch of shatterproof stuff, this included. Self Father’s Day🙌🏼

Wow great im hoping to silence my bow soon

Option 2 for sure

I like the laminated colors!

Thanks for teaching me how make bow strings

I have a tab in my kit I never use because I have no idea how to

Next time cut a thread if that’s even possible❤

I am here in Regional Australia and have used fishing braid

Hi, I bought a PSE GMX with no string, I did the calculatuons that you show on the video, but as soon as I do string the bow, the string gets loose, in some way is loosing the tension once is string. What do you recommend me to do?

Option 1 would be my pick!

Personally, I would love to have both.

How about some G10 or Phenolic choices

Hello This is Farid from Jordan . nice video and lots of information, I just want to say that the pdf you mentioned in the video that talks about the bow width and so is deleted, so how would I get an access to it ?

Never showed how to check brace height.

Stop buying stuff from Amazon and China. We know how damaging the model is. Vote with your money folks

Tnx bro

I might be wrong or missing something but it does not look hard or even innovative as i have served my loops by hand for years. :S But i guess you found a way to make a jigg to make it faster.

I have stumbled into making bows through doing mental health treatment with a family member. It went mallets, walking sticks, bows Your channel has been a superb research resource. Whenever I ran into an issue or needed to know something, I could be sure to find what I needed from Shatterproof. Many thanks man. Just posted my first shorts of what I've managed to achieve so far

I'm a sucka for a wood grain. So the coloured one for me. Bleeding lovely bow either way ❤

I like the new one.

You got a great goal. Helping is major . Happy people in your shop.

Option 1 but both are looking great

They both appeal to me for different reasons. All of the bows I've currently built so far look like Option 1, but Option 2 is pretty slick. Honestly, I might have to lean towards Option 2 and I've been wanting to make one like Option 2 for a while now. I would leave it with the current color scheme you have with Option 2, it's a very nice color scheme. But so far I've liked the look of all of your bow builds!

First one is awesome but the second one is just a little bit better

Option 1 for sure.

Laminated

how can one just pick a side? They're both amazing :)

all looks good Classic and modern but it looks like 100 other bows

I'm a fan of #2. It gives me Manchu "Hua hua pi (畫樺皮)" translated "painted birch bark" vibes. Both look great though! I do think you'd enjoy looking up historical Egyptian / Assyrian Composite bows. Your design closely resembles them, and a lot of the surviving examples are ludicrously decorated. Think you could find some easy inspiration, esp considering those all used natural materials like birch bark, leather, lacquer, and sinew on top of the wood and or horn. Good stuff man!

I think option #1 best showcases the natural beauty of the wood itself, while option #2 draws more attention to the neat pattern created by the lamination of the different woods. Both are awesome, but I prefer the former, thinking also it may be a more timeless style.

Ooh. Stripes.

Option 1 for me. The other looks cool, but I like simpler designs long-term

1

I like them both

Thanks for this. My step father gave me his old bow and was trying to figure out how to order a string for it. Now I know. I’ll be placing an order soon.

neither... osage beats both

Option 1 but Osage again cause I didn’t get to buy one and love the idea of an Osage riser!

Option one for sure

Option 2, beautiful!!!

Left!

Option 2 personal, beautiful work either way 👍

As another bowyer focusing on speed, here is my theory why same limbs angling backwards would be faster. Okay, so when the limb angle is backwards, it doesn't force the curve so much to the inner limb. When the limb is more forward, it's going to want to rip it self out of the riser more, but it cannot, so it bends the inner limb instead. Why is this important? Because when the bending happens in the inner limbs, it has the longest lenght of limb to move around, which means greatest amount of energy loss to moving the limb tip. When the inner limbs are backwards, the work is done more in the mid and outer limbs. Anyone that has ever went to fishing, knows that the fish weights way more when holding at the end of the fishing pole than directly at the line, there is similar situation. The fishing pole acts as a lever helping the fishes weight to drag down your arms. Same in the bow, the longer the limb from the point of stored energy, the more it struggles to move the arrow. This is why Norwegian military bow is the fastest bow design I know of. It is very much lost to history, not many people even knows it exists. It is like an English longbow, with part of the limb being flatbow limb, the outer half, but it also has narrow and light tips, similar to mollegabet levers but shorter, it is kinda like a paddle bow with long longbow riser. This results into a tiller that has the most of the bend close to the tips, so the energy stored has very short limb to move, while also being long so the distance those limb tips need to travel is also short. It's a perfect combination of everything that makes bows fast, low moving mass, short working section, short distance for the energy to transfer and short distance for the tips to move.

Option 1 with option to get option 2, and they both look great

Original

Call me a tradinalist, but i prefer option 1.

The original one is much much better. The new one is really bad.
