If it helps, I have a brief look at the unbraced profile in this video:

Bill Vonderhey (the bowyer) is deceased, so unfortunately I cannot ask him the draw length he designed it for. I have no doubt it can handle a longer draw, but I am taking it to 20" out of an abundance of caution. I've had short sinewed bows blow up on me before, not anxious to repeat the experience.

I understand your caution,, just saying most sinew bows are drawn a bit further, it takes a bit to get the sinew working,,
of course do what you feel comfortable with,, just wanted to share some info with you,,  :)
