Short bow
« on: December 29, 2021, 03:28:58 pm »
I want to make a 42" NTN short brush bow Osage Bendy handle.



How wide and what draw length should I make it?
Should I make the grip narrower?

Mark, you could get 20" draw with good tiller. I'd go 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" and if you narrow the handle leave it thicker then bring the bend back in to the handle at full draw. Also, flip the tips a bit.
