Well I messed up a first rat bow by a drilling too many holes so I started a new one so this is the rat bow redo. It is a 17 inch riser out of one and one half inch steel angle iron. The limbs are some old throw away limbs that I had laying around I haven't had a chance to get the draw weight.
It shoots well but I need to build a new string. It's 64" nock to nock.

The draw weight ended up being 42 pounds at 28 inches

Well it's near finished but not sure what else I'll do to it. I must say my ears match the rat's
