thank you fellas for the nice comments.....but really now :o

Dazv, maybe if their baby bunnies >:D

BB, I never thought about it but ya just might have the answer right there.....old man farts :o

Dave, if only that was true

Danzn, There's a lot of fellas on this site make way finer bows than me, mine are just plain old tools, and I'm sure you can make bows way better than mine.....thank you for the sentiment but you are selling yourself short.

SLIMBOB: I would like to see it launch some at full 22" draw. Even at 19 though it hits hard

That is a tough little bow.  Was that more of that dead standing ironwood that you were telling me about?  I believe those little bows would kill anything on this continent for sure.

I like the "shed door penetration test" :).   That thing is a beast. What is your shed door made up of?

Thanks Marco, I like that Quasimodo is ugly....he put the "U" in ugly >:D

Yup Howard, dead standing....if social security ever catches up I'll have some comin your way my friend.

bubbles: The door is 3/8" Marine plywood over a 2X4 frame stuffed with glass insulation, and that's covered by "headliner" board that's used for the headliners in Semi-Tractors.

Nice Rich. The way it went through the door love to see what it would do to a deer.

Rich,
       You are a short bow master. And I will argue that with anyone, anywhere, anytime...

Awesome!

Thanks again for the nice comments, appreciate them.

Trapper, BC....aint got no class at all, really though it's the only thing I could think of to give some idea of how it was hitting....regular target is froze stiff.

Arrowind, Postman: thank you fellas

BD, A "master" knows all about something...so that leaves me out, way out. I don't have any problem with short drawing this one (cause I can't get the full draw anyways >:D)
