Coaster I am late to the thread but really like your bow . Turned out pretty and hey, everyone needs a lite bow on hand.

As to short bow kings well the old yankee and the Georgia boy are at the top but let us not forget Zoltan.

I too have smoked mulberry. Kinda strong and hard to keep lit and well that's all I remember.

Nice bow coaster! I like the video but it would be nice if it was a little longer, maybe a few more arrows shot ;D ;) sorry I just like videos. Again nice job! and it does look like it spits an arrow out pretty fast. Thanks for shareing with us!

Elktracker have you ever tried to download a video with photobucket? With my old computer it takes forever. If I make them very short it really cuts the download time :)

I haven’t finished the little bow yet and am trying different handle Ideas. I used a thread and I want to apologize upfront as I can't remember who posted it :(  ... anyway that person build the back of a bendy handle with pieces of leather and crazy glue. They them shaped it and wrapped it with leather. Well it works pretty well. I am trying to make a rest out of the same antler from my first whitetail. I don't have it shooting as well off the rest as my knuckle but I think it's a height adjustment or the fact I'm trying to get it to work with the natural point (probably won't work but I though it would look cool), we will see.

The only thing that is permanent at this point is the build up on the back…. 

Still experimenting……

Took the little Mulberry to the range....  These arrows are way to stiff but the flu flu feathers helped....  Need to get some lighter arrows........

Thank you Scott for your observation....  you are 100% right the rest did not work well so I changed it to a flat rest and it still did not shoot that well. It is now without a rest at all and shoots off the knuckle much better. When I get some arrows that are spined right I am really interested in seeing how it shoots....

Thanks again
