I love it! How are you able to get a 26" draw feom a 46" bow?

Glad you like it! It’s quite a bit different than what I normally see you build, so thought it would be an interesting one for you to get. Love the review!
I was definitely an interesting but fun bow to build. And definitely a hard one to part with. When I first shot it, I was not expecting it to shoot how it does. It’s so thin that I expected slow and thunky. But not at all, it was surprisingly pleasant to shoot. It’s actually been shot at 26” quite a bit and has held profile very well. Thanks to how thin it became due to the extra wide and short design. And this bow was a pain to get to drop any weight. I wanted 45# but settled on 60# since it was getting aweful thin (pushing on 1/4” thick in places) and I didn’t want to narrow it any since I did want to pull it so far for its length. It’s biggest downside is that it does feel like it hits a wall at 24”, though it does 26” without any issue. I hope it makes a good bow for you, I feel it’ll be great for use in thick brush, out of blinds and from a stand. You don’t have any worries about hitting a limb on anything. I even played with sitting flat on my butt and you can shoot with the bow vertical.
I’m gonna have to build one to keep for myself, they’re an awesome bow to have around.
