I personally got to finally see and shoot both of sleeks bows at OJAM. I have to say  I was skeptical at first but man was I proven wrong! These things are scary short but are dead in the hand,  very fast and really accurate as well. The only  real complaint I heard about them on the 3d course was "damn your arrows are hard to pull out of the targets". It sometimes took two people to pull the arrows. Well done buddy,  the only question I have is,  can you make me one that pulls 55@27?

After watching how hard and fast these bows shoot  you don't need no chronometer to know that they will do the job on a deer.
Great job Kevin. (But your tiny strings still scare me..)

Indeed, poor knoll was quite exhausted of pulling my arrows. We will see if a bow can be made to pull 27". How short do you want it?

Thanks buddy, now if I could just learn to shoot like you do.... maybe I would have a winning combo of skill and equipment.   Perhaps one day you will get the chance to shoot one of my bows and not let the skinny strings scare ya.

As short as you can make it bud. But no worries on when you get it done.

Really enjoyed catching up with this thread; do you think Yew would work for this type of bow?
