Shorty Hickory Molle

[4est Trekker]

Here's a 58" ntn (60" oal) hickory molle I built about three months ago and just got around to photographing.  It pulls 38# at my 26" draw.  It's got highly trapezoidal and thin levers, a tempered belly, rosewood tip overlays, and very slightly pyramidal working limbs.  The slight angle of the full draw shots makes the fade area of the top limb look strong, but it's just an optical illusion.  Thanks for looking!

I love Mollies. I think I'm going to have to attempt one.

I especially like the color contrast on this one with the toasted belly and dark tip overlays, and the side profile shape of the levers.

Thanks, all   This little bow shoots well compared to what I anticipated with the design of the levers.  In truth, there's not much wood there, as they are only 1/4" wide along nearly all of their upper (back) length.  There's no hand shock, it draws and releases smooth, and hits hard...(we all say that about all our bows, huh? ) This is the first Molle I've built, and my first time getting serious with hickory.  Not exactly the best pairing between design and wood species, but I've been happy with what I've learned about both.
