Short Recurve

[Marc St Louis]

I've had some people ask me how to make and/or if I have ever written an article on these bows in the past so I decided a few weeks ago to make another and write an article for PA on the build, because of that I won't give away too many details.  The bow is Maple backed Yew 53" long that pulls 45# @ 28".  I didn't finish it for awhile cause I couldn't decide whether to make it a right or left hand bow, I decided on left.  It was fun to build







P.S.  I'm actually pulling it close to 29" in the full draw

[PEARL DRUMS]

Real nice Marc. Your squeezing it all out.

[blackhawk]

That looks tasty!!! 

[Chadwick]

Love it! Your signature on there looks pretty cool, too.

[Badger]

   You make it look so easy Mark, I bet that bow would do ok in flight shooting.

[---GUTSHOT--->]

That is a slick bow. If I ever run into you I would love to shoot it. Since I'm a lefty too. Great job

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys.  It does shoot real good but there is a bit of finger pinch, not too bad though

I had the same thought Steve as I was tillering it out to 25"

[Aaron H]

Oh yea, that's a beauty right there

[wizardgoat]

I love that design, great job Marc. Looking forward to the article.

It makes me a little jealous and a lot motivated to see you busting out such ridiculously good work! All your bows come out top notch but this really pushes the limits for a proper hunting bow.

That is just flat out stellar tillering. I'm struggling to express how badly I envy the gentleman who will get to call that bow his own.

[bubbles]

That's awesome. 

[jeffp51]

Wow.  I bow down to your skill.  A true master.

[JonW]

Real nice Marc. I like the length and profile is killer.

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks again guys.

I guess you will be envious of me then Ben 

The article is fairly comprehensive so those that are interested in making one of these will have to read it

[Badly Bent]

Wow, now that sucker is working. Very nice.
