Well done!  Your painting really looks nice.  I've not made a Modoc yet but hope to soon.  Do you like the performance of the bow?  Thanks for sharing!

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

That's a cool lookin arrow flinger. How's it shoot? I've never handled anything even remotely that short.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

smoke, slackbunny, I have not had the chance to shoot it but it feels decent in string tension at brace.

That's a sweet looking little bow- love the artwork. 

I made one similar not long ago out of Mulberry and bent the sucker pretty far out into the tips. It seemed to work for that few extra inches of draw, but I don't know much about a Modoc bow, just have made bows similar.

Well done.

Havent shot it????? man, that is like building a hot rod and not driving it... excellent workmanship, I think you will be amazed at the bows performance. job well done.

Juniper, Ha! The only place I have to shoot is a small target in my basement that is buried under some things and I'd be leery to shoot with such a wide handle and an irregular draw length. I'm sure performance is just fine though.  ;D
