one is 34 inches,the other is 33.this is to where the siyahs start.the siyahs are about four inches.these are one piece bows made of osage.one has sinew on the back and belly.the other just has sinew on the back.my friend Peggy won the 1946 flight bow championship with the one.she is in her nineties and not doing to well health wise at the moment.very fine lady she is.

You know if they look short in your hands they are SHORT...lol  :laugh:...sorry Steve had to to say it and you knew it was coming  :laugh:

Seriously those are awesome...and incredible bows...it would be sweet to try and recreate that....not sure if I have what it takes to repeat that ,but it sure would be fun trying....even tho there short there prob still smooth to pull...those are some seriously sharp bends..I'm guessing their approx 50" long total....and the way the curves are grooved for the string,and narrow,then flare out for the string grooves is interesting. makes sense,but maybe there's a lil bit more refinement in tip mass reduction....I'd have to see em tho in person to make that call....hopefully badger sees this ;)

Also looks like the handle section is only 6" long to squeeze in a lil bit more working limb ...what's the front profile look like? Any taper? Sorry..I'm curious..and there's prob not much and not until a few inches away from the statics
