Howdy Hawkbow and Two Kills... and Jamie,

That's a beautiful bow!   And, it's dangerous lookin' - Rabbits beware!

One of the three bows I currently have in process, is a selfbow of White Ash, and is an Am. Longbow with a rigid handle.  I'm making it for a little six-year old - She's a First Grader who is about 52" tall, and growing like a weed.  (It'll be my first selfbow.)

The length of the selfbow is about 55" long. 
And, I'm wondering what draw weight I should be shooting for?

Thanks for letting me post my question here.

And, again, many compliments on that kid's bow.

All the best,
Canoe

What is a Yooper? ... you guys are so correct.. seeing josiah with his new bow sure brings back old memories.. the local bunny population iis under siege... and only moving at night .. i will post pics of his kills (at his request).. for all to enjoy.. the bow is a fast shooting meat maker .. i haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet but, he will eventually lay it down so I can try it out ...
