15yr , that is a 54 inch static recurve the back is trapped (or narrowed) to try and equalize the tension compression strenths,not an expert but i think it helped reduce set. the recurves are steamed and bent by hand, and it has a three inch rigid handle , five inches total  with fades limbs are straight tapered from 1 3/4 fades to 1/2 inch nocks. skins are sidewinder from NTD.
thanks Randy i think we'll see some more short recurves out of that pile

I know this may sound a little strange but for some reason I get the suspicion that Ken may be a bowaholic just can't figure out whi I think that. :D ;D Ron

Great work, Ken.  That's a good addiction to have - keeps you busy and is productive.  Good luck on the next year's worth of bows.

Hey Ken
Doesn't look like you have aged a bit! ;D
That is one nice mess of bows. I am impressed. And yes you are in need of help for that addiction. ;D
Also...You could'nt be more correct.....THE HELP THAT IS GOTTEN HERE AT PA IS AS IMPRESSIVE AS YOU CRANKIN OUT ALL OF THOSE WEAPONS!
Plus a little joshin thrown in...


God Bless
Ron

Ken, I think you just might be hooked on the sweet addiction. It just stays interesting doesn't it? So many bow woods to try, designs to test, and arrows to shoot.
