I am very convinced this is the best design for juniper and sinew. Utah juniper with 3.5 layers of elk sinew. 50" long tip to tip, 2.25" widest part. 60# draw at 24". Made for somebody who short draws. Got the snakeskin from Clint(Osage outlaw) a while back. Brain tanned deer handle. Wood treated with grease and then the whole bow coated with a few layers of shelac. Holds 3.5" of unstrung reflex. It tested better than I would have hoped for before I started the build. I used regular cedar and spruce target arrows. 475 grain arrow 170 fps. 624 grain arrow 159 fps. I know these are not flight shooting speeds, but this is a pretty basic design bow and basic non tapered arrows. There is a lot to be said for a slow tiller and never overdrawing the bow.
