i see the ad in the trad bowhunter mag but i can't find much info about them on the net.

anyone had any experience with them? just curious, as they look different that's for sure.

I think these little bows have been a mystery for many years now.

I've never heard anyone say that they knew much about them. They are very interesting looking!

I got my hands on one at Cloverdale a few years ago. I never got a chance to shoot it, I was able to draw it back a few times. It felt smooth and I was shocked when the owner told me the poundage. It felt at least 5 lbs lighter than he said it was. I can not explain that, except maybe he was wrong about the poundage. I would like to shoot one. In all my travels around as a vendor for 7 years, that was the only one I saw.

I know the owner John Tlucz. He lives in Mass. and doesn't seem to make too many. It's a part time thing with him. We see him and his wife every year at the Muzzy. I have shot John's bows on several occaisions and have to say that for a bow so shot it has a lot going for it. My experience with very short bows has been that they are slow and sensitive. The L'il Suckling is very smooth shooting and stable. It is not a speed demon but I've shot a lot of bows that are a lot slower. If you are into short bows the L'il Suckling is a nice one to have. Because the risers are made of phenolic they are very dead  in the hand on release.

They were brainchild of friend of mine Kiko Tovar from Waterloo, IA, he was advocate short bows, when he died the tradition was passed on,he made a 80# for Mike Judas, that was one bow that I could only draw half way,it really stacked,but Mike didn`t have have any problems with it, he is one tuff dude,
