Title: Short bow for a good friend
Post by: Olschool on June 23, 2009, 08:17:26 pm

A good friend of mine is vertically challenged  ;D and likes short bows, so I decided to make one for him. It's 48" ntn and 55@27"

Thanks guys, hi Cowboy. Yes, that is a check in the middle of the riser. I have 3 bows with checks like that. None of them have caused any problems
             so far  ::)   super glue is great stuff

They all came from some Osage I pulled out of a brush pile when someone cleared some lots last year
