"Super Cub"....(HHB Shorty)

[blackhawk]

Heres a 52" hophornbeam...R/D molly bends thru the handle...50's@26"....final mass weigh in 13.8 ounces....it has a character lump in the upper limb that only covers the center of the limb and i had to hollow it out to tiller that area....gotta love the toughness and elasticity of hhb holding up to that strain in a high stressed shorty with that cross section. Anyways,im gonna do this backwards and get straight to business













heres the belly showing it flat then where it goes to the hollowed out spot at that lump




thanks for looking..chris

damn blackhawk, make those levers any thinner and you'll be able to see thru'em, nice one , bub

[SLIMBOB]

Love it.  Looks like it ought to be fast with a sweet send off.

[sharpend60]

I wonder though...

Did you have osage on the brain?

[blackhawk]

thanks sharpend....dude i always got osage on the brain 

thanks jon...

thanks bubby....next time ill try to make them invisable 

thanks slimbob...thats a good definition of it

[sharpend60]

Well I got Vine maple on the brain...
it just doesnt have the same ring does it.

Back on topic...

How about some dimensions?

[blackhawk]

Its a 40/60 lever to working limb ratio...1 7/16" wide handle that flares out to 2 1/4" at the fades, and tapers to 1 7/8" to the fades of the levers,3/4"wide 9" from tips,1/2" wide 6" from nocks, and. 300" at the string grooves,lever thickness starts at 9/16" and tapers to a hair over 7/16" right before the overlays....side notes...patchy cambium left on, and ipe overlays...that enough detail for ya

You're crazy man For some reason it just doesn't surprise me any more when you post bows like these    Way to push the limits to the extreme!

[rossfactor]

That has "fast" written all over it. I really dig how the side profile gives no indication that the working limb is more than 2 inches wide.

I was wondering what a bendy handle molle might look like. You're the expert, but it sure looks like it could bend a little more at the lever fades. Maybe it's an optical illusion. But she really looks fine!!

Dang Hawkman !!!  That's just plain slick!!!!

[Badly Bent]

Great bow Chris, got everything going for it design wise and nicely executed too. I don't think that I would want to shoot it though,
if I did then I probably wouldn't care for shooting any of my bows anymore .
