that is just my draw 26" and i love short bows and 52" is real short that is way cool. :thumbsup:
Those look great.
Are the drawings painted on the back authentic.
Do you have a source for the drawings?
I've made some youth bows and would like to do something like that.

The bows took me about 2 1/2 months to make and each bow shoots better than the next,I love sinew the paintings on them are just Ideas I got from lookin at other Indian artwork.I will probably start on two or three more and I think I will do a buildalong when I do. :archer: Thanks for the kind words.
Ricky S. , Thanks looking forward to the build a long.
