Well I read alot about western indian bows.  I think they only drew to around 23", but most of their bows were sinew backed and about 36-50" long.  I am in the process of making a 40" bow right now and lets just say it is an experiment. I ll let you know.

anything under 70 is getting really short.
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

Anything under 60" is short to me. The shorter they are, the less fergivin to me. And I need a lot a fergivin with my shootin.
