This not my design but a fellow bowyer was kind enough to share it with me. I did make one minor tweek or maybe major depending on how you look at it. It is an all parallel limb. no forward taper. Anyhow this on has a stabilized maple riser with brown dye and bloodwood and yellow dymondwood. Curly venners. 47@28. Seems to do 28 in. really well. starting to stack after that. Fairly forgiving to be short.
         
   

Another cutie......    

Mike you are becoming addicted to these little shorties.  Looks really good!

Very nice. Do you see much difference in profile with no taper compared to say .002 taper?

The advantage I feel on a short bow is taking a bit of stress the fades.A BIT more stable.Not much profile change.

Thanks Jess. Yeah probably gonna be in the bull blind a lot this year.

I like it, I'm thinking on designing one myself,with that way forward handle which I think is needed whats the brace height.

Sweet shorty Mike. Is there any notable difference in performance with the all parallel limb?

I guess some would say being you are moving more mass weight it may be not a good thing. So you just profile it a bit smaller. Still a little more stable than tapered to me.

That looks great! Love the riser.
On going to have to try building a recurve one day.
Great job!

I have been working on a short bow design without much luck, do you have any plans you might share?
BTW I love your bow!
