Apricot shortbow

I have a 30 inch long apricot stick. It is 1 inch wide. What draw length and weight can this tolorate? I know this is very short, but I have it, so why not?It doesn't really need to be even half draw.

never heard of someone trying apricot so you'll just have to try it and see what poundage it's willing to give you. for draw length you're looking at something like 14" maybe less maybe slightly more (big maybe on that one) that's assuming you make it a bendy handle.
report back with success or failure most guys here like to hear about less used woods

I would recommend V or W splicing on some siyahs for the added length/reduced string angle.
