Title: Another Short One
Post by: jess stuart on July 01, 2016, 12:28:00 PM
Here is a little 50" takedown.  Gonclo Alves and maple riser black glass on the back, clear glass over waterfall bubinga veneers on the belly.  Finished up 51# at 28"

That's a cool looking short bow. My first glimpse impression was "that's some steep angles" but looking at the entire bow it seems to be just right. Good job, I'm jealous.

Great workmanship there! Think it might be a finger pincher at my draw though!

Mark you might not believe this but, i have never shot one through my chrony.  The bow is being shot by a guy for a few days but. I will run it through the chrony assuming he doesn't decide to keep it.  bibbob2 I shoot 3-under and don't really notice the finger pinch although I am sure it could be a issue especially for longer draws.

What would a bow like that cost, Jess?
