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.

full draw

Rich I would hang out with you anytime my friend. I really just get lucky once in a while. EVERYONE knows you can't tiller a bow with a belt sander :o
Thanks fellas.

That's a wicked little stick right there! Very cool! Josh

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.
-
Nice bender ....
You guys remember this thread started by ken. http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php?topic=25626.0
Why not resurrect it and add them there if y'all are gonna go another round building a bunch of Shorty's ? ;) :laugh:
-
Nice shorty, Jon. Good job on that baby!! :)
-
Sweet bend on that shorty. Nicely done!
-
Man that's sweet!
-
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
-
Holy Toledo!! That is nice! Look at the bend on that sucka. Good job.
-
Very nice bend it that one. Congrats. :)
Pappy
-
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?
-
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.
-
i must of missed this one but great bow from a short stick, i really love these short bows well done. :)
-
You know that's my thing bro! Haha love it.
