Sweet! I want to shoot it at the Classic. Maybe even with a thumb ring. ;)

That's a beauty, James!

You gotta remember to send me some thumb measurements for the ring we talked about!

Also...how is the "prototype" you promised me coming? ;D  Hope you found suitable secret ingredients for the build. I dearly want to wring one of those out in the backyard.

Do you get any finger pinch with the bow being that short? I suppose nothing that can't be remidied with a thumb ring. I have never shot with a thumb ring but I am going to make one and try it out. Again,, Awesome bow...makes me want to hack a few inches off of mine!!

great bow brother, I had the opportunity to shoot one of those horse bows once... my uncle Dancing Bear had one and taught me to shoot Kasai style speed shooting... I couldn't believe how fast and accurate my shooting was with those little bows.. Thanks for sharing .....Hawk a/ho

Durn, cuz, you're gonna fool around and figure out how to make a bow one of these days if you don't watch it. ;D That looks like a rocket launcher. You're gonna have to teach me how to shoot with one of those thumb rings, never tried it.
