Wright Stalker Recurve feels sturdier. but it is bit more violent on release. which is strange as stalker is 52#@27, while 38sp is 59#@28 (comparable?)

my personal impression is that 38 special is a lot easier to shoot then stalker recurve.

That is so cool! Happy birthday

Cool stuff ted. sorry I will miss you on Saturday but hopefully i will make the stump shoot.

I can tell you like short things. Your shirt is a tad on the short side when you come to full draw

Happy Birthday!

John builds Great Bows smooth, Quiet ,stable and quick !!

I'd love to try that out. I usually shoot a 66" recurve, it would sure be different.
Looks really cool!

That's neat. Different. Cool though.

Crazy, I have issues under 60", how does it shoot?

>how does it shoot?
well enough for me. that is, I can shoot longer bow equally badly.

Did Cupid sign it ?

Seriously. ...those r cool little bows...and could be of service in some places I've stalked. Never shot one but would love to

Would be a good candidate for the two finger draw technique

Had never heard of Little Suckling bows until a bud went lion hunting this past Feb. in Idaho. His outfitter had two and let him shoot both. I believe they were both 44"s. He and his nephew have just put down deposits on one. Even he was amazed when I showed him pics of the "38 Special". I too would love to put a few through one.

Got word back from John. the maximum DL that he recommends is 28" for 38special.

KT/JT-44 is famous, but that's not all he makes.

If anyone wants longer bow, he also makes bows that are 50" or over. (I think he said he has 54"). not many of those floating around so anyone is interested in unique/rare bow, I think that's a pretty good option.

now that you mentioned it, it really could be cupids bow isn't it. too bad it's the middle aged bold headed asian behind the arrow.

Burnsie>

I have found quasi-split (with index finger just touching the arrow, finger still on the string but not pulling )work well with this bow. compared to other shorties I own, this is the most forgiving of all.

it is FUN bow to shoot. I envy your friend that he was able to try out the kt44 before ordering. I'm sure he will be happy when he does get his bow. It is well worth the wait.
