Questions.

How do you like that maple as a backing?  What is the grain orientation for that maple peice?  I've got two large flitches 9' long by 8X10" ish.  I try not to carve maple but that is originatly what I cut them for.  I wasn't doing bows then.  I looking at them as cores.

When drawing a shorties how do you know how deep to draw?  I'm a traditional 28" right to my anchor point.  I have no idea where 24" would be.

thank's APH
prairie it's plain sawn, and what I've used for backing has been great, as far as draw, use short arrows,with 25-26" arrows the broadhead will let you know when to stop pulling, that arrow in the full draw has a piece of tape so i knew i got to FD, i usually use the timer for the FD but i wanted to hit the mark and told my wife when the tape disapered take the pick,Bub
