I never shot one of these bows.  What do you do?  Just short draw it?  How does one keep from overdrawing.

I love the looks of these shorties.

 Now that is cool! Why is the string silencer on just one end?

  Bigcountry. I like to put a sinew wrap on the arrow. When you feel it rub across your knuckle, you are at full draw. The string is a Miwok style with otter fur.

It doesn't get better than that.  That bow sums up what this is all about  (for me anyway).  Absolutely gorgeous.
