I designed and built this little 48" recurve as an experiment from scrap glass/ maple lams. Suprising how fast this little bow shoots.
A special thanks to Mike Mecredy over at MadDog bows for his help with the stack on this bow.

Was thinking this might be a good design for a high performance kids bow until the wife got her hands on it, with her short draw, probably not gonna get it back.
Oh well guess I can always build another one or 3

very cool- how is the stability and forgiveness of poor release etc on those short bows.
look really neat and funky!!!
whats the accuracy like?
nice job!!!
Very nice!! I'm a fan of those short bows.
That's awesome! !
Very cool X 2!
Looks really good. Nice design.
I like it.
Sweet bow! I'm a fan of short bows too
Great looking bow - very sleek...I am not sure what that means but it sounds good. :D
Very cool!!
Nice bow, James. I can't wait to see it in person!! :thumbsup:
Great looking bow. The short ones have a bunch of wow factor. Thanks for sharing with us. How much taper etc? We need details leaving the out is cruel.
The specs. on this bow are: 46" NTN, .170 total stack with .030 glass on the back and .020 on the belly. The maple lams are parallel (no taper) The limbs are 1 3/8 wide. 40# @ 26", 14" riser. The profile of this bow is similar to a reduced K mag.
James
cool bow!!!
James -- Is that your design? Would you be willing to share a tracing of that profile? Or did you buy a proprietary plan somewhere for it?
I've toyed with the idea of making a bow similar to yours with a "banana" shaped riser that would run from your riser's fades, to the deep part of your grip and back out.
I don't care for what I call the "prosthetic" grip, and I prefer shooting off the hand rather than a shelf. I know... I'm weird....
Very cool little bow, a 26" pull on 'er, impressive..... :cool:
Cheers to a job well done. :thumbsup:
Nice curves
Awesome little 'bush bow', very cool.
