Amazing bow.  Must shoot quick, 45# is a popular all round good weight. Looks like someone else mentioned the nice bonsai.

  I really want to try a boo backing. Have you attempted boo backed oceanspray yet?

Thanks TN. I've thought about boo backed OS but I've never tried it. OS is so tension strong I don't know that it would buy much. Although..... I did have an OS lift a splinter at a group of pins. It may have a use then. The only reason I made this and the last one is I had some yew heartwood and wanted to use it. So I bought some boo.

Strange thing about shorter bows,  I think I'm going back to a slightly longer bow at least 64" - 66".   A longer smoother drawing bow is easier on my joints especially the shoulders.   :P
As far as holding the draw I can do that with my 34# takedwon and it has no ill effect on it.  Shot it hundreds of times and it still is at 1/4" set.
