50'' Ipe Bow...not for (BOM)

[JustAim]

l dont think this bow is worthy for BOM, but l'd like to show it anyway because l'm bored and have nothing better to do . lts 50'' tip to tip, 1.25'' at the fades then tapers to 1/4'' tips. lts backed with hickory and draws 50#@25''. A splinter lifted just under the handle during tillering so l super glued it and wrapped art. sinew around it....so far so good. The handle is wrapped with Paracord 550. Thanks for looking.

looks great man, how high is it braced?

[Pat B]

That's a cool little bow. I'd bet it will spit an arrow pretty well.  The brace height does look a bit high though.

[JustAim]

Thanks! The brace is 6 1/2'' high.

I like it ,  I love seeing short bows.    50" bow drawing to 25" .  You got a lot of guts.  Good job getting so much draw out of a short bow.

Looks awesome...I wish I could make a short bow that would work for me....but my arms are too long being 6'2"

Not bad at all for a 50" bow but looking at the string angle I bet she stacks like hell eh

lts not as bad as you would think it would be, judging by the string angle. l was going to steam the tips alittle bit to help prevent the problem but as you probably know ipe is a real bear to bend. Oh well, its a fun little bow to just mess around with and it does shoot pretty nice and flat.

I don't think any amount of steam will make ipe bend, and yes its a nice little bow
