How do you shoot a short bow?
DC:
Nothing wrong with being wasted ;)

I don't have a lot of experience with real short draws though most of you would say I already have a short draw with my normal anchor point. So far my short draws have been kids bows or my Marshall mini bows. The kids bows where about 19 to 20" draws for them I anchored with a spot on my wrist touching a spot on my chin. I could actually shoot these pretty good one was even a lefty. My mini's both had about 10" draw I mostly used the draw weight for release on these which was much harder for me to shoot and just 1/2" made a huge difference on draw weight on these.

once you get out to 24 inches or so,, the power stroke is pretty nice, and you can get a hard shooting bow at that draw,, ( for elk)
the shorter bows dont seem as effecient when you get down to say 20 inches,,
they will shoot hard enough,, but you might have to go up in weight at 20 inches to get the cast for elk,, the 24 inche draw bow,, will shoot close to a full draw bow,,

Brad,
How short of a bow can I make and still have a 24" draw length. 48"? I'm thinking using Utah Juniper and sinew backing with a bend at the handle design.

I would guess that'd be more than long enough..
