I never shot one of these bows.  What do you do?  Just short draw it?  How does one keep from overdrawing.

I love the looks of these shorties.

 Now that is cool! Why is the string silencer on just one end?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

  Bigcountry. I like to put a sinew wrap on the arrow. When you feel it rub across your knuckle, you are at full draw. The string is a Miwok style with otter fur.

It doesn't get better than that.  That bow sums up what this is all about  (for me anyway).  Absolutely gorgeous.
