15yr , that is a 54 inch static recurve the back is trapped (or narrowed) to try and equalize the tension compression strenths,not an expert but i think it helped reduce set. the recurves are steamed and bent by hand, and it has a three inch rigid handle , five inches total  with fades limbs are straight tapered from 1 3/4 fades to 1/2 inch nocks. skins are sidewinder from NTD.
thanks Randy i think we'll see some more short recurves out of that pile

I know this may sound a little strange but for some reason I get the suspicion that Ken may be a bowaholic just can't figure out whi I think that. :D ;D Ron
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?
