Fusizoli, I love how all of these short bows you've been making have come out. Every one is a masterpiece. I'll have to try one myself. Thanks for sharing.

[JBL]

Very COOL!!!  You gotta love a short bow.

[Traxx]

Very nice bow indeed!!!
While reading that this bow,was patterened after another,that was patterened after a pic,i hunted up the old thread.I hafta say,that i agree with PatM on the Lable of the Nation of origin,of the Original.No slight intended toward Rich or Zoltan,but i also question the lable,the original source put on the bow.It wouldnt be the first time for such a thing to happen.Regardless,it seems to be a nice shortbow and i bet a great shooter.

[Gordon]

Oh my, that bow certainly turned out nicely.

[fusizoli]

Thanks again for all the nice compliments! 

Traxx here is Rich's topic http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,25208.0.html

This bow is 45.5 ntn  1.3x0.55 at the center, 1.2x0.47 at mid, 0.55x0.37 at the tips.

I don't know anything about the bow on "original pic" so any information would appreciated.

cheers Z

king of the short bows !!!!!!!!!

[ohma2]

[PatM]

Love this bow but I still think the original has flipped when the string stretched and it's braced backwards.

[fusizoli]

Thanks again!

Pat U mean looking like the second bow from right on this pic? 



I've seen some bows like that, may U have right. Anyway I think this is a good design too and hope it is not an incorrect version. The other deflexed tip version (as U mentinoned) is very simillar like Semitic (Egiptian) bows http://s1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc450/fusizoli/Semitic/ . Like that design too!
On the museum pic schould see the painting on the bow. U think it is painted on the belly side?

The funny thing, some bowyers say it just string bacwards and the other part say no thats right bend.
I would like to try all version and I think they do the same thing 

Today found the double curve bow pic here http://www.assiniboinetipis.com/main.html

@ Fusizoli: this is a total newbie question but could something this be made out of ebony or a cherry oak properly?
