I know... I know... I used the "C" word.  But I build and shoot traditional crossbows as well as recurves and flatbows.

Anyone ever built a wood-glass composite bow (prod) for a crossbow?  I'm looking for some place to start -- as in tip-to-tip length under 32", width about 1.25"-1.5", and some idea of a lam stack...

Sorry Ken. There is to be no discussion of C bows on this site. You will need to look elsewhere to get your question answered. Mods will probably pull this thread soon, too. Good luck in your search.

Yeah, sadly what Razorback said ....

but FWIW, in the future just ask about a very short draw, very high draw weight recurve for an insanely strong child.

Lastly, Supertiller does a good job of predicting draw weight on all bows of any length. input the data for a known bow of similar profile, you can see what numbers it spits out, and then you can scale up or down the size to whatever legnth of bow you want. Then use the draw weight of the known bow to estimate how far off supertiller is ... hope that made sense.
