I make selfbows, just like Dan. Unlike Dan, where I live, Osage is everywhere. I am going to go get some as soon as it dries up some.
About that bow, I would try to find an old Bear Patriot or Minute Man. They are simple take downs, the limbs slide into sockets, there are no screws to loose or over tighten.
That bow stacks badly, that bow picks up 10 pounds in the last two inches. Your draw force curve should be even, it should not pick up 20% of the draw force in the last two inches. Stacking like that will lead to short drawing.
I do like the way it folds up, I wonder if you can put some sort of arrow holder on it to hold your arrows, that way, you don't have two bundles. Not all that wild about the rectangular cross section of the grip, but it will work. I would say that if you lived in a city and had a Bug Out Bag packed and ready to go, that I would consider it as something to have packed up in the bag. I would definately get it if I were a bush pilot, especially if I were crossing state lines or flying US/Canada routes, lots less hassels than a firearm.
