That's a lot of bow in a little package.  Very well crafted and cool looking too.  I like it!

Short bows RULE.
Nice work Chris, a real fine backpack bow that surely puts some punch behind the arrow.

Congrats ... a real beauty/beast!!

That thing looks like it means business. Real nice. Just curious, but how do you know when to say when when drawing such a shorty. Myself, I just get a feeling, dont know if it is stack or what, but just know that it is as far as I want to go.

Nice little bow.  I would assume that with that much deflex you would have put in some reflex.   That being the case how much did you put in?

Sweet shorty blackhawk reminds me of an Egyptian horn bow at f/d, matches the unbraced real nice

Marc i did put a little bit in...and you can still see a hint of subtle reflex in the working limbs...i started with the tips being 1 3/4" ahead of the handle,and it finished up right where i wanted it dead even with the handle....i didnt wanna add more and stress it out even more...i wasnt going for anything too aggressive...this ones for the woods and my pack,and it fits/conforms nicely on my pack with that much deflex...thanks ;)  btw im just finishing up a 56" r/d static ,and on that one i did put a lil more reflex in the working limbs....its all where i want the tips to end up when im done and what im using it for ;)


Thanks bubby :)
