Not very often does a name just come to me for a bow but it did for this one  an hour or two after I read Pat B's post.

 I think I'll call her "Patience"

 Fits don't it Pat LOL

Dazv,

 It shoots different than a regular bow for sure but I don't think it has alot of jock. Actually it is pretty smooth compared to what I expected. Of course I have never shot any thing like it before so I really don't have anything to compare it other than regular longbows or recurves.

 I did have a Bear supermag 48" one time and this little bow shoots alot smoother than it did. This little bow is a alot of fun and pleasant to shoot.

Barefoot, I had the same thoughts on the arrows and ended up with 2 26" arrows with stone points around 125 grains and two 27" arrows with 150" grain trade points.

 I will use the trade points for coons and such but my stone points are strictly reserved for that first primitive kill whitetail or longbeard. There is a noticable difference in trajectory at 20 yds but 15 and under not enough to worry about. I also built one arrow with an antler blunt tip rolling bunnies and tree rats. I figure it will knock'em for a loop and I can quickly dispatch them with quick wack in the noggin.

 I'll get some pics up of my arrows and the quiver I'm makin' for this set up. Gonna do a quiver and bow sock kinda deal all in one with a bob cat hide.

I have blown up every short bow attempted over 30#. Every time I get the lust cooled off another poster quality bow comes along. It is hunting season and ain't got time for this but mercy me that is sweet!

  Who would have thought moccasin skin was that pretty? We have them all over South Carolina where I live and they are usually muddy grey from the swamp. Well you have inspired me to go out and lose a finger or two. Great looking bow and I will get some moccasin skin for next bow!
