As usual, really cool bow, Rich!  Quite an arsenal for this year's season.  Looking forward to some success stories!

Great lookin little bow,there Rich...
Just for the sake of historical conversation,the Ishi bow in the pic,from the PHM,is a bit longer than 44"and it is sinew backed.I feel it must have been left braced,for a time,to develope that much follow,in a sinew backed bow.The handle region,does narrow a bit,underneath the wrap,maybe by 1/8" on both sides.I just happen to have been eyeballin it personally,a few days ago.LOLId say without actually measureing it,that it was 48 to 50" long.
