As the story goes bub said if I tried to make a horse bow he would supply the horse hair. I accepted that challenge, but never even thought about a super short horse type bow before that day. When the package arrived it not only had horse hair in it, but some buffalo fur as well.....too cool bub. This bow is 45" ntn, 1 1/4" wide max, pulls 42# @ 25". It has three layers of sinew and hide glue. The skins are actually a single skin. I had one big ol' WDB laying around with no match in sight. I split it down the center and thought the triangles it formed looked NA like, so I stuck with them. The grip is from a muskrat I tanned last year and the string silencers are buffalo hair from bub, as is the tassel from his horse hair. This little turd flings a mean arrow and could easily take a whitetail. I was thinking about using it as my swap bow, but that's cheating....
The full draw pic is dead nutz 25". You can see a faint yellow stripe right on top of my finger. Enjoy and as always criticism welcome.
