Title: 58" belly mount longbow with 13" riser
Post by: BenBow on August 06, 2015, 04:12:00 PM

Finally getting back to building and working on this prototype short longbow. Heres the profile in the rough and the fd curve. I draw 28 1/2" so this will work good for me. Working on shaping the riser now.

Looks like it is going to be a good one.  Got to love those belly mounted longbows.  Can't wait to see more.

Looks good- it should be a shooter looking at your fd curve. I'm with Jess on wanting to see more.

I like the curves.  What is the length?
