Short Recurve

[bubbles]

As a lefty that has been looking for a sub 55" bow - I can take it off your hands if you get bored of it Marc

Beautiful bow, Marc! Jawge

Wow! That's a looker, Marc. I'd sure like to shoot that one, bet it will really send an arrow down range.

Another thing of beauty!

  I gotta admit, Marc, I basically learned to make recurves years ago by copying (as best I could) your bows you posted in pics like this.  I remember specifically one I just pored over and tried to imagine how it worked during every stage of the draw, every stage of construction........ and I can still barely do it.

  I have had great success with 58-64" recurves, but have settled on my style being high deflex, like yours, but less reflex, and larger recurves instead. When I deflex it that far, then reflex it like you do, I just mess up the tiller and end up with a 32# bow.

Thanks guys

I'll let you know if I get tired of it bubbles.

I could have gotten more draw weight out of this bow but I have quite a few bows with a draw weight of 50 ~ 60 lbs and hardly any sub 50# bows.  This bow is perfect for Deer hunting in tight spots

I finally got around to testing this bow.  Performance is good but not spectacular.  I was using just under 11 GPP arrows and getting mid 160 fps, granted I can't do a snap release shooting left hand.  It shoots about as hard as a 55# ALB I made

I am in love. Can't wait for the issue to come out and do this build

28" draw at 53" bowlength!! You know to get the most out of it!
What about making chronos at 25" with very light arrows? Forget that 10ggp, you can easily convert it. Look here: http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/reply/475130/10-grains-per-pound#reply-475130

I love this bow!

Man that thing is sweet Mark.  Your bows are the most recognizable.  I love the straight limbs at brace.

Dream bow!!!

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys.  Not the fastest bow I've made but it sure shoots good

I have shot the bow with 550 grain arrows and they come out of the bow at a pretty good pace as well
