You know I am more comfortable with the short simple bows. I like to feel the bend in my hand.
Thank you .

I like the plains bows, simple style but a work horse weapon. What is the length of the bow and the width measurements if you don't mind me asking?

46" long, 1 3/8 limbs, 3/4" tips . About 7/16 thick at handle and 3/8 thick from there.
Fast little bow.
