I'll let ya know when I get my first shootable one finished. The last 2 have blown up on me :o Both 48" attempts. But it had to be the woods fault not mine ::)

Elktracker:
Good idea on wrapping the thead on the arrow shaft to know when you are at full draw never thought of that duhhh I was marking mine with a permanent marker or makeing different arrows that are shorter lol thanks for the simple yet great idea ;D I really like short bows when I shoot them I have a different anchor point I anchor my top thumb joint to the side of my chin bone and when shooting longer draw I usually anchor my upper pointer finger knuckle to my cheek bone.

I dont use an anchor point per-sey....floating anchor. Otis Mason, in his paper of 1893 told as how the Natives he talked to said they "pull to the head" so I make my arrows to the bow. But still dont use an anchor, when the head touches the bow hand ....it's gone.  for what ever it's worth sir.
