Title: My Halfeye Wannabe 53# @ 19"
Post by: JonW on June 14, 2014, 01:12:46 pm
Not as good as Rich does but a decent effort I think. Osage 36" at the nocks and 53# @ 19" draw. I didn't have much width to work with but it still made decent weight at one inch wide at the widest part. I'm not sure how I want to finish it and I may not at all. Would make a good bunny buster or a walk by shot at a deer buried up in a cedar.

It would never be allowed in England, Del.  Too easily concealed!

You beat me to it Jon. I was going to whip out the same thing Friday night, but got side tracked by another project. That one is bending very nicely.

Thanks for the comments guys. Just understand the effectiveness of a weapon is relative to the person using it  ;)

Jon, both you and Rich are just putting out some fantastic little short bows with a lot of power. I've had a little shorty hanging on the rack that I'm going to have to finish. I have no idea how heavy it is except my youngest grandson couldn't pull it far enough to shoot it so I just thought I'd put it away until he grew stronger.

Haft up some arrows and take that sucker hunting Jon. You have a couple months to practice with it and you know it has the power at that weight if you just put the arrow in the right spot, may have to hone your get close stalking
skills too but doable right? .... Very cool bow brother. 8)

Nice work Jon.  That little sucker needs to be in a ground blind.  If you drag a deer out of the woods with that bow in your back pocket, the compound bow boys around there wouldn't know what to think! :D

Post by: GlisGlis on June 16, 2014, 11:26:33 am
great bow. really like it alot
Just a question
with little bows like that what's the best type of arrows?
Do you follow normal rules for spining and lenght? do you shoot longer arrows than draw length? Or as short as possible?
Title: Re: My Halfeye Wannabe 53# @ 19"
Post by: JonW on June 16, 2014, 11:44:31 am
Glis I really don't shoot bows that short very much. I have some arras that are around 22" that I will shoot from this bow. I normally shoot and hunt with bows around 52" and I'll use an arra 26" to the back of the point. Spine is something I just play around with until I get them flying like I want. Thanks for the reply.
