Thanks Guys, this has been a fun one. This one is kinda long for a hunting bow I guess its a hunt/war bow size. But I used the stave full length to keep it on the safe side considering my lack of experience. I'm not a fan of short bows either.I got some ideas for the next one, #70 war bow 68-70 inches. Come spring time I will collect what I need for traditional dyes or paints, just gotta find a stave.
