Title: Curly maple short recurve
Post by: M.Kerry Bird on August 02, 2013, 09:59:00 PM
So one of buddies wanted a short tree stand bow. We came up with this color combo and I think it worked out nicely. The bow is all curly maple with wenge accents. 56"55#@27". Riser is stained light walnut and the limbs are dark walnut. Texas bull snake skins as well. The bow came out too heavy for my friend so we're working on another one same specs but 47-50#.

Thanks guys, it's a quick little bow for being short. I can barely get it back to 28". That's all there is I wouldn't draw it past that.

wow! Bows like that make me wish my draw were 4 or 5 inches shorter.

Thanks guys. I can just get 28" out of it but it sure is a handy little bow.  Haven't been able to find a home for it so I'm gonna modify it for my own use.

Love them bull snakes. I traded two off this year at MOJAM have not seen another one on the road since.
