27-28"
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

I have exactly 5" Im starting with before any bending of any sort. At 26" Id snip an inch off each end of your rig. But, either way will make a great bow.

All done doob's. Its been shot maybe 100 times now. I started with 5" and stopped at 2 3/4". Not too bad for a stiff handled 60" bow ( I snipped 1" off each end) pulling 27" plus.
