Now that is a dandy. You did a heck of a job getting that short stick to 29" with out any trouble. You just can't beat a good piece of Osage. Dean

it's a beauty man!
those fades might need some scratches indeed. but anyhow, I wouldn't dare drawing an unbacked bow with that much reflex and braceheight so far ;)

how's the stack and performance?

Great job getting that short of a bow to 29" and a heavy draw weight. Show's a lot of talent...I hope the bow holds up. I'd personally feel safer with it sinew backed, but that's just me. I haven't made any adult bow's that short and high of weight and draw. Again, really nice work!  :)

Not sure how you got that done, but congrats! That is asking alot for any wood.The mid limbs will most likely set peerty well on it, but that will make that bow very sweet to shoot. I have one similar and just love the way she shoots.

Nice job!

Timo's right, the 3" of reflex I started with went away, settled in to 3/4" unstrung, but it is very quiet and smooth in the hand, really spits an arrow out  ;D
