I didnt think there could be a way to make your bows look bad, but next to that little girl.... Naw, it still looks great. But it is outshined by her, for sure.

hey you gotta start them young to shoot them heavy bows  :D ....actually it is a bit too heavy, espetially to be able to develope form, but there was no wood left and i was scared to try get it lighter,...I have to make a quick shoot bow for her to be able to make her shoot comfortably for a little wile


Winona says thanks for the nice words

It's just the coolest picture with her sitting on your shoulder. And it's the most beautiful kid's bow, that's for sure!

Great looking little bow, and an absolutely angelic little girl. She looks like a natural from the pics of her holding the bow-she'll probably be outshooting you before long. :) That full draw pic with her on your shoulders is priceless.

Sorry I never mentioned, Winona is my 3 year old.

LOL Frank  :D :D

bigcountry,

I belive 10# maximum is in order, I cut and shaped a shoot today, it should be a bow by next week when I pick up Winona again, that would do for several months untill this bow will be better for her

Title: Re: A very, very little GUAVA bow
Post by: Keenan on May 08, 2009, 06:43:25 am

  Very pretty daughter Manny. Sometimes them smaller bows can be harder to tiller because when taking them down on the weight a little wood can weeken one spot very fast. ::) go slow

 Winona, you are very lucky to have a dad that can build you such incredible bows and teach you to hunt as well.  Just don't let Daddy shoot your bow all the time ;)

Well done again!  Does the nut on the end of the arrow keep it from shoot too far, or does it just balance the arrow?

Aosda, I had field points on those arrows, but I think nutters are better at this stage :D 1/4" nuts weight like the field points,....man this little bows with this litle arrows shoot way further than you would think  :o
