Very cool bow. Have you tried top shoot it from a horse yet? My experience with shooting bows from horse back tells me that the longer the bow, the harder to shoot from a horse. My longest horse bow is 52'' my shortest is 42'' both are Indian style bows with short draws. Like the look of your bow so me thinks me going to try something similar but shorter and see what i get. Good job, Nice bow.Let me know how it goes when you try it on a horse.

They are holding up the corner of the man cave really well, thanks.  They oughta be pretty well cured and stabilized to our drier climate so I need to get off my duff and check the draw weights soon.  A buddy is planning a archery bunny hunt soon and I wanna use that snakebacked curley so-n-so real bad!!!

thanks again!

 Very sweet bow Ken. Love the lines, curves and beautiful contrast. Should make a great horse bow.  Great job on a rare style. i want to build another one like that. I did one about two years ago for Lulyn but it was a little underbuilt and ended up breaking,  She has been begging me to make another. ;) Congratulations

You might be surprised,Start shooting the bow from the ground around the horses so they can get used to the sound of the bow. We have shot bows off of 6 of the 9 we have. Let me know if you have any Questions about shooting bow on horseback (have a bit of experience with it), and above all else have fun with it.
