Well, I think the design I am working on has some merit.
This bow when strung is 50" and thats about as short as these bows will go without negative effects accumulating to point of deminishing returns.
Im getting 79.6% stored energy to draw weight. Im getting closer to the higher percentiles im after.
Patrick aka lebhuntfish, has been very helpful in an extra set of eyes and brain power to help me get this bow right. Thanks brother.

And even that one was a utilitarian and functional shooter.

And the only bow that could take down a tree!

Finally got to chrono it. I was getting a range of numbers out of it due to release and draw/hold times. But with a 435 grain arrow i got an average of 165 fps, and with a 387 i got 172 fps.
I need to speed these things up. Early draw weight must be the key. They should make meat just fine. If anybody can give an honest opionion on the performance and comparison to longer bows id be oblidged.

100fps + bow weight w/10gpp is the general rule of thumb I've heard of
