I love me some Molly. I have one and enjoy shooting it. Great all around work.

Great looking bow.

Wow and you did that without sinew.  That seems to be pushing the limits of osage.  How many inches of limb do actually have in the working area there?

So I wonder what you would need for a minimum working limb area with that style for a 28" draw?

i did measure it gaur and i have 14" of working limb per limb. i think you can prob only get away with this with the really strong compresson and elastic woods. the deflex helps as well to achieve that draw. so maybe 17" wood do it for a 28" draw and make the bow about 57"ntn. just make sure you compensate for the shorter working limb and make it a lil wider than normal. my fades start at 1 1/2"

thanks pauln/ks

I love it.  I want to try building one like that.  I haven't combined R/D with a molle style bow yet.  That's cool.
