Nice work Guy!  I finished the last of my arrows today.  I'll be posting pictures soon.

I'm impressed with the effort and craftsmanship that everyone has put into these little bows.  It shows the quality of bowyers that gather in Marshall Michigan each Memorial Day weekend.

I finally got my mini bow set done and ready for Marshall.  It's 24" of osage, sinew, and a baby rattlesnake skin.  The tip overlays are big horn sheep.  I left the outside of the horn on the overlays. 












I have two different sizes of arrows.  I went with a high visibility color.  The smaller diameter arrows have self nocks and a .22 casing on the end with a small nail through the end.  I used epoxy putty to make a bullet point on them.  It seems to be holding up good.  I need to redo the epoxy on one arrow.

I took a limb from that rawhide backed Yew Heartwood bow which I destruction tested and made this mini bow.
Ok I won't get to Marshall, but you can't keep a good cat down :laugh:

That's a lot of bend Del.  Nice job.  I was expecting to see tiny horn nocks.

Clint, beautiful set up you have. What are the weight on the arrows? Bows draw weight?
