Nice lookin' bow, CD! If he doesn't like it send to AR. I have a short draw, too.  :bigsmyl:

Very nice bow. Well done!
 Hickory lends itself to heat treating the belly. This can help reduce the set a bit.
Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

Thanks guys. It shoots pretty good, it was a tricky one to figure out arrows for some reason. It ended up shooting GT traditional 1535's cut at 29" with a 125 grain point. Flings em pretty fast though.

Definitely not my last hickory... I already got two more staves  :)  and next time I am going to heat treat.

Very nice looking bow - I like how you left the back!  Very cool.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch
