yes but 52 inches is about as short as I go,, Im trying to learn to shoot the shorter ones too,,
bownarra:
Good luck!
bradsmith2010:
killed quute a few deer with the 54 inch version,, as they get shorter,, im not so good,, I think if I could shoot a pinch grip it would help, but still learning,
it does take more skill to shoot the shorter bow, but it takes more still to shoot a wood bow than fiberglass or a compound, Im ok developing the skill,,,,Im not shooting tournaments,,just like to shoot and sometimes hunt,,and know what its like to shoot a bow like the people that were here,,

can you post pic

I have a piece of osage about 46" long. It has been sitting up in my shed for years and fell down and conked me on the head last week. Just after I saw a video on commanche bows. Fate...
So I have never made one this size and I intend to back it with roo sinew, which has become a bit of a fad in pet shops around here.
It is 3/4 at the tips and 1 1/4 in the middle.
Is this viable?
What sort of thickness do you think I can go?
Also, how much sinew do you need?
Cheers
