Hmmm I'm sure you guys just sit around and wonder what i'm up too lol.... well besides missin turkeys. I've really been wanting a short bow i set out to make a 58 in bow but the stack came in light so i hacked it down to a 54. and WOW.... i'm in love.... here she is... Bocote/JAtoba riser and cote limbs with boo cores....

now the handle overlay is off the other riser i built with these 2 woods so it looks kinda weird at 1st but i think it's cool and i've never seen it done before...

LoL Gut Buster... if bows had that effect i'd build a lot more lol... I kinda was wondering about the hinge look at the end of the riser... here's a better pic of the overlay and a pic of the limbs.

Cool!!
Hmmmm... maybe the Weeeee-Wacker :)
Great Job !!
I really like the wood combo. She very pretty. It's cool to "hear" the excitment in your "voice".
WEEE WHACKER! love it lol...
Thanks Glass, its a fun thing to design and build something but this one is really fun.
I've shot it a bit today and the only problem is I'm getting some finger pinch on my ring finger o well, I'll deal in order to shoot from flat on my butt lol..
Pretty little bow there, I'm sure you'll really like it in the turkey woods.
