Lil' Thumper

[mullet]

I made this shorty for my buddy that owns the Alexacarri Plantation. Tim wanted a light weight bow he could walk around and shoot rabbits and small game comfortably.

This Osage bow is 53" N to N, 42#@28". I've reinforced the static curve with hard maple and it has three lifts of back strap sinew put on with hide glue. The belly was heat treated, also. The tips are white tail and the snake came from the Alexacarri Plantation.

 This bow was a real challenge with the whoop t doos and knots in the upper limb, that's why I ended up sinewing it. But, it turned into a zippy, little shooter.

That's a beautiful bow and 42# he can stick a few deer with it too if he wanted to lol

Thank you, Jon, I have five more to finish

 Simply beautiful, If I had made that bow for someone, they would have had to pry it from my cold dead fingers. Truly a work of art

Nice bow Eddie.  It looks more than capable of putting down some rabbits.

Very nice short bow, Eddie.  I had hear the bunnies frying already.

Thanks for the kind words everybody. It's nice to finish one. It has been so hot, wet and miserable with mosquitos that I've hardly gone into the shop.

Very nice bow, I bet even at 42# it's got some serious zip when he lets an arrow loose. Those rabbits better beware.

Thanks for posting this. I had a question on here about making almost this exact bow
