Leave it to Matt to take it almost too far!  I believe this one really needs to be entered for BOM!

Incredible Matt.  8)   If you'd like to try some small diameter hill cane for arrows I'll bring you some to the Classic to try .

Pat we are hoping that  you can fix us up with some hill cane for these little giants !
We just need 12 -15 inches per shaft I am sure you can find some small pieces  that will make killer shafts for these

I'll cut a bunch of small diameter and you guys can fight over it.  ;D
 Too bad Matt but I'm confident you will remedy the situation.

Okay, at 10-inches of draw, I scaled it at 25#.  I've reduced horn and sinew to a point that I think I need to stop.  Any thinner on the horn, and the core wood will show through.   Anymore on the sinew and I'll lose the integrity of the back an it'll come apart.  I was hoping for 12" of draw, but I just don't think it's there.  I don't have enough working limb in my design. 

It's very difficult to pull the 25# at 10 inches, anyways.  I did shoot Wee-Wicki's arrows through it and it's mighty fast as I might expect.  But many little baby bows shoot very fast.  Especially I'm certain, the ones made by the other fine bowyers in this thread. 

I'm gonna make the call and decorate it.  Thanks Guys for the moral support!

How'd it feel in your hand to shoot.

Actually, not too bad Pat.  Gotta hold it different to keep the string from slapping my wrist but it's rather stable.
