I’ve got to try a real shorty like this.  Nicely done.

Very cool.  I have a couple juniper shorties ready to sinew back, but I'm holding off because I suspect they're less fun to shoot than they are to make.  Are they as hard to hit anything with as I hear?  They sure do look pretty.

Cool shorty, I don't shoot them very well for some reason but I know people that do, so it ant the bow as always is the case, it's the shooter. ;)
