Maybe  wood shorties are underachieved? It's interesting that other guys making plains style horn bows don't report impressive performance. Of course they aren't shooting arrows of 130 grains.

I'm sticking with what I know, self bows. You girls can have your "not-worth-the-effort" horn bows to dilly dally with!

 That bow wasn't mine. I was more concerned that if peak performances were achieved with these bows you guys might hurt each other, even with the foam tips on the arrows.

thanks for the concern  ,but most of these boys grew up in the midwest and are used to a bit of pain cause  growing up in the Midwest  means walnut fights , pellet rifle fights and just plain ole getten rocked were a way of entertainment in farm country.

Now you city  folks and youngters from the electronics  age may want to take Pats advice and sit this dance out cause it's  gonna hurt
but you can still have fun shooting at The Bear Across the Pond with us and all the other fun stuff we do !

We grew up trying to sneak packs of Black Cat firecrackers in each other's back pockets.  It came to the point that none of us would turn our backs on someone with a lit punk!  The sound of a zippo lighter from behind me still elicits a jump!

Carry on, non-weenies!

True story. Before I was considered bright enough to get a lightening bug excited, my brother talked me into a rock chucking contest. "We'll take turns throwing rocks at each other and see who gets the closest. I'll go first," he said.

As it were, not only did he lose on the first toss, he was aiming at my head - which I considered blatantly out of bounds! But my instant headache precluded me from making a point of it.

Does anyone want to establish a benchmark for us to "shoot" for?

This is what I got so far. 23 1/2 overall dead standing, heat tempered and shoots of 3/16 oak dowel with 1 inch fletchings dead flat 20 yards. Thinking about putting some tendons on the back but I really want to stay with nothing but air on the back. Amazing how fast these little bows shoot. I talked about a big game playing war but I'm not quite sure I like to be hit with this thing O:)

Paul ... is the bow even an inch wide at fades? 3/16 dowels? Good grief, I am all thumbs gettin' feathers on 1/4" dowels!
Looks good!!

Three-quarter wide at the handle by about 5/16 thick. Did not even cut a notch in the arrow just shooting it with a pinch grip flat on the shaft

It's a six strand off a short bow. But I plan on making a sinew string..... I remember reading in the rules that the Bow must be of all natural materials I'm going for a string also
