Todd Scherrinsky 48" "Problem Child". 44#@27".  20yd shots with untuned bow/arrows. 2nd sets of 3 shots right out of the box!

very Unique take-down.  with lots of mass in riser (1.35lb on riser alone, 3lb total weight).

interesting the way limbs attach, needs 2 bolts.

here's how it looks unstrung.

how it looks strung. compared to Herter's Perfection 46.


here's how it looks as it is shot.  kinda interesting the way limb opens up.

not sure if video embedding is allowed, so here's the link

Possum Head >

Todd used to make bows in 90's.  he disappeared for a while and came back on the net/forum last year.

around this time last year, I saw his bows, and this style in one of the trad-site.  6 month later, I had an opportunity to connect with him, and I asked if he would make it. and he was just about to start re-making this particular bow, and things kinda started rolling from there.  

it was kinda weird timing thing that happened.

here's photo from todd

video up top shows how it opens up too, although since my draw is 27 inches, it doesn't open fully like the photo at 28.

Saw it on *********** last month. Cool to see it shot on video.  Looks like a fast limb design too.

I heard of him he made bows along time ago, think he advertised in the back of TBM but not sure.

its good to see new designs coming out now, people breaking away from the same ole same ole molds and trying different things I hope Todd does well with this design.

somewhat related because of the short recurve design I also hear there is a guy making the KT44's again too!

Hi Charlie, yep, as long as my job schedule doesn't conflict with MHTA shoot, I'll bring it for show and tell  :)

Hi Ken, thanks! I'm glad it did too, as it went through several twists and turns.  equipment doesn't cover up my terrible shooting, but it is cool bow to work with (tuning it right now: never thought I could do that when I started ), looking forward to seeing you as well.
