If 58 is short for you then what's long?  :D very nice bow.
I like shortbows more than long ones. to me the line goes somewhere around 52 inches. above that they are all long to me.
Santtu.
Deep is our blow, our wrath invincible,
we have no mercy, no homeland.
Our fortune is at the point of our swords,
our hearts may never give in.
Our war cry rings out, enchanting, to a land
that is breaking loose of its chains.
:;: Our defiance may not tire
until the people of Finland are free

It's great to see a bow with a lot of character and yet be so gracefully smooth looking - you've made a really nice bow!

Thanks guys ;) ;)

finnish, I've made 2 shortbows following the ABC challenge, yeah they shot good ..but not so good in hunting situations.

Lately I've being making bows in the 64" range, but I'm going back to the 66-68" ones, absolutely the most effective hunting weapons (for me at least ;D)

Hey Manny, not sure how this one slipped by me. just saw it on the BOM. Your bows are always such good quallity that I try not to miss any of them. And this one is no exception. Awesome work as always, I love those signiture needle tips of yours.  You really do have your own style. I think any of us could look at one of your bows and know that Manny made that one.   Good luck on the BOM     Keenan
