;D Very cool pixie bow Del! horn nocks and leather grip very detailed

NOOOOO!  No shooting pixies!  Just makes 'em mad and then they mess about in your kitchen . Next thing you know your sugar bowl if full of salt!

But garden gnomes?  Oh yeah!  Take that Travelocity!

Love the crazed grin on your face as you hit full draw, Del.  Always suspected you were a bit touched!

C'mon dude, there's a lot of draw weight on that pinkie... I'm allowed a grimace.
I'd like to see those warbow guys get it back that far  :laugh:

  Nice little bow Del, just for kicks if you take a little 50 grain arrow and shoot it through the chrono I bet it will give you close to 170 fps. When you shorten the draw length you can also scale down the grains per pound and it will match up with a big bow pretty well. Steve

What was the grain weight of the arrow?   119 fps from that light of a draw weight is pretty good!

Dell, that is amazing!!!!! That little handle about make me lose it...
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Great looking little bow.  My 8 yr old was standing me behind me and said "I need that bow"  :D

@JW & Badger
That little arrow weighs 84.4 grains.
It's heavy so as to penetrate that pixie armour >:D.

Good job, Del! I hope some little one will put it to good use.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
