First little paddle bow
« on: September 25, 2011, 07:06:11 pm »
I love this short draw shooting! Didn't think I would at first but I liked the looks of these little bows so much I had to give it a whirl.

 47.5" tip to tip 46" ntn. Mocassin backed Yew. 51# at 23". I built me a few stone head arrows and a few trade points to hunt with and I'm hoping she'll make some meat this fall.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 Thanks for looking.

Nice looking shorty!  For some reason, I don't think of using yew wood.  I happen to have a piece that would be perfect for it.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Pat you known I did LOL I figured 23" and a little set was good enough!

 MWirwicki, It has alot of sapwood on and I figured it would take alot more set but it didn't. She ain't no speed demon by no means but she still shoots good and hard out to 15 yds which is plenty for her intended quarry of whitetail and turkey.

if you can get shorter arrows that are still spined right your speed will go up. im sure a 60 inch bow with 50 inch arrow wouldnt be a speed demon either if you catch my drift. i tend to like shorter arrows with shortbows because of the flatter trajectory at 20 yards. i have looked at this bow probably 10 times and still drooling over it
