Its hard for me to make a bow I cant shoot full draw. But all this short bow/backpack bow stuff recently got me inspired to just whip one out. Glad I did.

Tell you what Jawgey. Ive suffered from short draw syndrome due to a severe case of bowyeritis. For me I short drew all the time worried about the bow breaking, silly I know. After making this little beater from sub par short bow wood and seeing how far it can go. I realize my fears are silly. I think this little bent yard stick will actually help my shooting a bunch. Its all a head game as you know!

PD, yup. I was playing a little game with you. You can't aim them.  You have to let it flow.
I made a lot of those in my early days from larger bow breaks.

Pretty slick little bow. I would hang on to that one and decorate it up all nice.
