Short bows
PatM:
I think the bow Marc called "Dream Weaver" is the most similar if I am remembering correctly what a Kodiak looks like. Even if 48" inches isn't enough you could sneak a 28" draw out of a 52 incher.

Making it with a stiff handle would be very difficult. BUT, if you made the handle very small, put in some deflex, and you might have it. Ryan's bow was 50" ntn and pulled to 27". If you put in the deflex, you could get another inch of draw, and got the handle as small as possible, maybe one more from the same length bow. So, if you modified the design, you could maybe, MAYBE get a 29" draw from the same bow, and because 2" of bow length equals each inch of draw, you could perhaps shorten it to 48", and still getting a 28" draw. This is in theory now, I'm not sure if it will work out.

Sean,I couldn't remember how long Ryan's bow was,Thanks,Maybe with alot of reflex it might work.The Super Magnum has like a 81/2"brace height.It might work ??? Might have to wear armor to tiller it :)
When I get caught up,I'm going to have to see what I can tear up.

In one of the PA issues I saw a palm bow someone made and it had a very small handle (it looked to me like the very small handles on the composite bows, and the fades were normal size, I think). But with a very small stiff handle and a good bit of reflex, it might end up a shooter!
