Very beautiful. I am wanting to learn to build badly. Need a new hobby to pass the time when I can't hunt. You going to build anymore this size? I like the shorties!

I love this bow profile and your riser looks outstanding. These little bows shoot so much better than you would ever think. Great job!

I will build another one since this one is going to end up in the hands of a buddy of mine.
Brad you are right about how they shoot- very spot on and stable for a shortie.

Impressive!

Gentleman who would like the plans, send me your email in a PM. Of course you must post pics of your build or finished bow.

One more question Trux....did you use ULS glass (glass with scrim that is). I am assuming so as I don't think Gordon's makes brown glass without scrim.

Thanks

Trux Turning · November 01, 2010, 08:25:00 PM

Yes Brad that's what I used. thanks again for the plans.

Nice job, sweet looking little bow.

David that little bow is just crazy neat. I have not been impressed by any short bow I have ever seen until now. I really like it. God Bless you and great job. Cool choice of woods too , one of my favorites.

David, very nice bow. Do you know when the build-a-long was that Brad did on this bow?
