not shure if the deer will think she's all that sweet, but I do, great looking bow Pat, Bub

Pat,

Sweetie is a great name for that eye candy.  Hope you get some game with it too.

SWEET! That came out real nice, Pat. The skins, curves, and tiller says it all. Now I'm inspired to grow a beard like yours so I have an endless supply of string silencers, too. :D

Thanks.
  Cipriano, your coachwhip sure dresses her up. So far my favorite snake skin backing.
  James and Yeti, we have to get a bidding war going!  ;D
 Ken, yea, right! You're a novise.  ::)
Strongbow, its called showing off.  ;D  I enjoy the sharing as much as building them !
 Eddie, I wouldn't trust my beard to be a string silencer but those lambskin fleece silencers are the best. Art turned me on to them.
John, I guess I'm gonna have to start turkey hunting. Never done it before.
  Again, thank you everyone.

This is my shortest that pulls 26" so far. It shoots real good too.  ;D 
  When I dropped down to a 60" static recurve(from 64" to 66" straight limb bows) it took me forever before I could shoot it with confidence. This bow however was easy to shoot right off.  ;)
Now when I go back to 64" or 66" bows it almost feels like I'm cheating.  ;D The stability of a longer bow is a given. Learning to shoot these shorter bows has been a real lesson for me. In tight hunting situations I can see where these shorties can really be the trick.
