Nice little bow. But im curious, what do people do with bows like this?  A backpack bow?

[bradsmith2010]

Dictionary,, we shoot them, they are fun to target shoot with,,, 48# @ 18 will shoot a hunting weight arrow really well,,  I am guessing from test I have done on short bows that this one will shoot a hunting weight arrow 450 ish at about 140 fps,, this will kill a deer at close range,,, so it would make a nice hunting bow as well,, very nice bow,, congrats, B

Nice little bow I bet it's pretty fast. Nice bend like the squirrels to

Every body's liking the bow what about that quiver. It's nice also. But that bow is awesome!

Thanks guys, really enjoy building the short ones. I do occasionally build longbows of the English and American flat bow variety as well! I'll be sure to post one soon!

That's a beaut for sure. Never made any short ones, but the last simple one I did, and I love how it shoots! Really into that squirrel quiver too! Cheers - brendan
