Time to wipe the dust off (new full draw pg5)one for the little people

[Aaron1726]

The mini broadhead looks like these Naskapi points.

I guess it’s a case of history repeating itself again. Im sure if they had screw in points they would have used them to.

I got my Bjrogg markings on the shaft and ready to fletch. Gonna be a fun little setup

Finished the arrow

Probably should be in the arrow section, but these arrows make this bow so much fun to shoot.

The skinniest hill cane shaft I could find. 24” long and straight as an arrow.

#8x2 torques screw for head. Forged into a broad head.

The shorter wild turkey tail feathers, sinew wrapped two fletch.

See if I can post the pictures here

That arrows to pretty to shoot. Now you need to make him some stumpers, or at least teach him how.

[GlisGlis]

Neat idea. that screws seems appear to be funztionals
the torques screw could secure a truncated cone made of wood and provide a wider, heavier blunt

[bjrogg]

Yes GlisGlis I have been thinking of some designs for different tips. Certainly makes some options.

I think I have this one done now. I can’t wait to see my friend shoot it again. I’m very curious how it will work for him now.

Hopefully get some profile pictures again soon.

Here’s a little teaser in the meantime.

A few more

I gave my little person friend his bow today. It went even better than I hoped for. He was able to string it and unstring it by himself. I can tell he has some experience.

Best of all he is developing a new form. One that he doesn’t have to adapt to. A truly custom bow that fits him.

The red stripe on the arrow is 16”.  He’s about 15” maybe a hair less, but I think he will buildup a little more strength and straighten his bow arm out a little.

At any rate he will probably be hunting the underground creatures soon.

Dude, that's awesome!  The bow, arrow, the story behind it, everything.  Really cool to be able to follow along with this.

[bentstick54]

That came out great, and with the extra weight you took off really helped his form. You are a good friend for sure.

Thanks Aaron. This really has been a fun build. Being a short person myself and having to adapt at times to make things work. I have a special place in my heart for little people.

I hope he shoots this one so much he wears it out and needs another someday, but I think it will last him a long time. Might need some more arrows though.

He was hitting the center of the cardboard box we setup for a target. There was no shortage of smiles from everyone watching.

Thanks Bentstick. I know he was concerned about the weight I removed but when he was able to string and unstring it himself. I was sure I made the right choice. When he drew the bow he knew to.

What a great project! In the past when I made a bow for a very special deserving person, it always seemed like the bow made itself. The usual problems with stave straightening, twisted limbs, tiller and hitting poundage never cropped up. If divine intervention is possible in bow making, I might have seen it.

[bjrogg]

Thanks Eric. I could feel the karma from this one.
