Yew Shortie (Won BOM with this beauty!)

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Heres some pics of one I was working through out the summer when I was waiting on others to cool or glue to dry or what ever. I pretty well had it done a few months ago and it just needed shot in and finished up but sat in the corner while I built several trade bows that didn't make the cut. Finally got around to finish this one up for season.

She is 47.5" Tip to tip 46" ntn, pulls 51# at 23" mocassin skins and hemp handle wrap. She shoots good and hard and will hopefully make meat this fall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turned out better than I expected.

Oh I almost forgot.......

Wow there's nothing about that little bow I don't like except maybe it's not mine and 50@27"s    The skins are killer and the lite and dark yew belly looks great. Did you use sinew under the skins being so short?

Great job!!!

[Stiks-n-Strings]

No sinew,

I did a little heat to gently flip the tips a smidge. It was naturally reflexed about an inch and took about 3.5 of set which I expected more than that really. Part of that set was losing the reflex. still shoots pretty good though and it's a blast to shoot. I didn't know how I would do shooting short draw but the shot pics are at about 15 yds so I'd say I'm good to go.

It may be a shorty but those arrows are right where they need to be....  may be a deer or two in trouble out your way

Real nice Kris! I have to try those tips someday. I see'm, I like'm but I've never tried them once?
Skins look awsome!

Nice Stiks...

[Stiks-n-Strings]

Thanks for the compliments guys

Coaster it shoots great for sure.

Joe I tried those style of knocks on a different bow and came to love em. Really knocks alot off the mass and helps speed things up for sure

Charles, those are a pair of skins I got from you and I love the way they turned out on that creamy white yew back.

kris, i think your bow looks great! i like everything about it. good luck this hunting season. rv

Wow that is a great looking bow for sure kris. Looks like if a deer does it part the bow will do it's and as long as you do yours their will be meat hanging.

[Osagetree]

But Kelly you're forgetting one thing,,, the arrows part!  

[DVSHUNTER]

Congratulations!  That's a bow very much worthy of BOM.  Can't wait to see it in print.

Good deal. Be sure and save a copy for your grandkids to see!
