Hickory-Osage-Walnut Short Bow
« on: January 27, 2018, 12:09:40 pm »
This bow was the result of a really short Osage slat. I backed it with Hickory raised the tips slightly with a walnut insert.
#41 @ 22"   54"ntn
Short bows are so much fun.

That looks fantastic.  Quick and handsome.

 Can you spare a brother a front profile pic?  I suck at short bows.

 It looks longer than 41" in the pics, it's so nice.  Way to hold the reflex.

Looks nice.
Are you comfort with that short draw 22"?
And with osage 54" is not really short ... or not?

I agree Simson. There's definitely room for more bend in there. I'll increase the draw length and put up some more pic's.
