my shortest unbacked bow

54" osage, low 50's at 27" draw. This piece of wood has that cool reddish color to it.

Very nice Bob! Looks like Hoosier sage to me.

Dang man.  That's a lot of good bending right there.  Well done indeed.  And a darn cute granddaughter to boot.

Nice shorty there.  Adorable granddaughter.
