The smallest bow I build that is "functional" is 36" tip-tip. Shoots great and is perfect for the little guys. This is not a toy and will put a hole in your hide if the child is not properly supervised.
this one works :biglaugh: , it just has a minimum range of 10 feet or so ;) .
Nice tiller and I like your tip over lays:)
That's pretty awsome, but where's the full draw pics. :goldtooth:
Now that's deadly! Killed any flies with it yet? I think a broke off tooth pick will be more deadly than a cotton swab. Be really neat to break off a tooth pick and use some small feathers as fletching.
When you kill a fly post a pic! :archer:
thanks roy, it was a tough tiller to make :biglaugh: . sorry sharkbone, I'll get some full draw pics later. redstag, the reason i use a cotton swab is that I shoot my brother and sisters with it :D :laughing: .
redstag, I also can't hunt fly's, they're out of season :laughing:
sorry guys, due to excessive set, I had to throw it out :( .
don't worry, i'm making another:).
Ah shucks Caleb. That was the best bow you have made yet:)
My smallest is 24" shoots good to, 10 yard puts arrow 4" deep , not a toy, was made for friends new born son to hang in his hunting theme bed room, but I think Dad will be playing with it until his son is ready for it, was pig nut with Osage handle and tips. :archer2:

to true roy, to true :biglaugh: . might try a bigger one with a Popsicle stick, that one would be wood.
Yet another use for Duct Tape...tip overlays!
I sometimes make mini bows out of firewood when I don't have the time or energy to build a big one. I have a 12 inch ERC one that puts holes in the wall with tempered bamboo skewer arrows.
