My draw is 28.5" and I probably overdraw up to 1" when I'm snap shooting, so I'd like to kepp things safe out to 29.5". I'm going to try bringing the length in 2" and if everything looks fine then I'll go another 2".
How thick can I go with the backing .25" tapered down at the knocks?

That is a great start, My first was a 2' long bundle bow that short about 20 feet, but that wasnt to bad for a ten y/o  :).   Keep it up,  Ty

Brought it down to 69" and it's up to 28# which is a really nice yard-bow weight. I picked-up some Ash Veneer that is 1/32" thick and laminated on two layers of that. Lets see if it does anything other than decoration. I may also pike it another inch to 68" because it was bending very nicely today, we will just have to see what the backing does.
