WHen you say you heat treated in deflex, do you mean actual deflex (towards shooter) or reflex (away from shooter)? Either way, nice looking shorty :)

Is that a cutaway for the arrow rest above the grip? If it is I'd be careful of that spot.I love short bows . You are definately hookes like the rest of us. looks good.

Good job, but I need more, too. Especially a draw pic and a front pic.

Is it just me, or is the short bow making a 'comeback' in popularity?  ::)

I heated and bent the bow towards me (deflex) in the center and then flipped the tips and it is a carved in arrow rest only about quarter inch though and then there is leather built up to add to it under the handle
