Short shooter with pics
« on: April 30, 2012, 08:26:54 pm »
I took advantage of a rainey day to finish this hickory stick. Its 50" ttt, 2.25" at the fades, .75 at the nocks. It draws around 45# at 19". In the pic it is drawn to 15". The belly was toasted before final tillering/sanding, and its backed with yellowed white linen (which will probably necessitate a paint job). One limb has a natural bend about 2/3 up the limb so it might seem a little off tiller.

If I can remember not to over-draw this one its a pretty descent shooter.

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

Nice hickory stick. You better carry some short arrows with you. That's the only way I could remember to short draw it.
