Patrick,

Thanks for the build-a-long.  I'll be watching this closely, love the short native bows!!!!!

Haven't cut the wood yet, but should be any day.

Thanks again,

Donnie

Hi Folks,  I'm waiting eagerly to follow this build along.  In the meantime,  I just had an idea for another reason that te double curve may have been favored by groups that were largely horse archers.  I've noticed that low braced bows are a lot easier to string.  I have trouble imagining how a heavy weight bow could be strung while on horse back, but a low brace height would have helped.    Ron

Hey Papa Matt,

I'll help you out with the photos.  Just send me a couple of your favorite bows and I'll photograph and post them for you.... >:D >:D >:D

Nice bows -  - keeping my eyes open for a chunk of wood with that initial shape. What is the  draw length / pounds on the 47"  and what are you trying for on the 49 incher?

Also, do you think shooting 3 under is adviseabe with these types?
Thanks for the buildalong, and love the pic of the young archer ;D
