I get it.  I once did a buildalong for "No Chance".

Have fun.  Just wear your protection young man.

I loved the last one mate and will look forward to seeing the next one!

Are we supposed to push the "Notify" button when people are doing particularly outside-the-box bow builds or is that just for really offensive stuff? 

Eric, I have no idea what that notify button is for either.

hitting that button is to somewhat 'subscribe' to the thread/discussion. i believe you'll get a notification when someone replies something new to the particular thread; but not necessarily a notification for each post after that initial notification. once you revisit the thread, i believe it'll reset the notification trigger.

[Jim Davis]

Just click the button and read what it says. Sorry to offer such a simple suggestion.....

Sleek, I hope the best for your bows if you like them,, thats all that matters,, I would like to know how they perform, I don't think you have posted any chrono results or maybe I missed it,, it would be nice to compare the design you are working on with other designs,, I like a short bow to hunt with as well, and understand that, I just shoot a short bow,, with a shorter draw,, even a 40 inch sinew back,, that draws 20 inches( I shot it through a chrono and it will kill a deer but does not shoot that hard for its draw weight) I have been comparing chrono results since the first MOJam, and it is fun for me to see what different bows can do

Have at it sleek, here's my unsolicited two cents worth if you do it do it right with sinew and horn if you want it to last😉

Eric, I have no idea what that notify button is for either.

  Sleek accuracy is a problem on short bows for a number of reasons that all tend to aggravate one another. Finger pinch, they tend to stack at the end so very slight changes in draw length can affect trajectory quite a bit. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy making and shooting shorties because they are fun, I prefer them for rabbit hunting. I use about a 23" draw though went hunting rabbits in the bush. Do you remember Tom Mills from Pasadena. He was pretty good with shorties and he also used a short draw with them.

There is no doubt to the truth of that statement. But i believe strongly i can do the same with just wood.

Yes I recall him, but it has been some time sense I have seen him. Wasnt he a paleoplanet guy? 
Regarding finger pinch,  I haven't noticed it to be uncomfortable.  Perhaps pat, eric, or kohn would make a comment on how the pinch is on it. Of course,  its only 26, not 28 like this will be. The recurve tends to stop stacking from being an issue.

If I get good shooters, I should send you one and see what your opinion is on it.

It was too windy and cloudy last weekend. Maybe soon I can get a chance to chrono them.

[sleek]

If there is a difficult part about this type of build, its the fade deflex.

[bubby]

Probably help a bunch if you go bendy and build the handke up with cork

[sleek]

Im sure it would bubby, if my goal was just to pull a short bow back far. But I want a stiff handle. I will get it, just need to get the techniques down.

[PatM]

I still don't understand why you aren't following the proven method Lukasz showed ? 

[bradsmith2010]

well ok, I think hickory, might hold up better and easier to bend, thats why the make rocking chairs out of it,,
