Thank you all very much for the high praise...this bow was a lot of fun to make and pull together.  This was bow #4 for me and I have plans for MANY more tucked away somewhere here in my head  ::)  The more I mess around with Shorties and sinew the more I really enjoy them both...now to get busy on a couple horn/sinew bows as soon as I can manage to get close enough to a Whitetail with this little Bow.

Thanks!

I'm a little biased being that I like short bows. That being said, this is one of my favorite bows I have ever seen on this site. Beautiful!

Chuck, very high praise coming from a guy who makes KILLER sinew shorties!  I have a L-O-N-G way to go before I catch up with you and making bows that look authentic like I'd like to make.  Many thanks~

Spectacular finish work buddy. And I can say for certain this is your best bow yet...By Far.  ;)

I think I now found something you got that I want for that yew trade >:D......yeah riiiiiiiiight. I know you wouldn't trade that for a million dollars. I can see your deeply in love with her.

Can you post a side unbraced profile shot. Im curious to see what kind of set you took with that much of an extreme bend.

Thanks a ton Chris, I really appreciate the kudos...particularily cause you are a touch critic to get past  >:D  LOL  I wish I could take you up on that trade offer but this little "Killer Hog(nose)" has me in her thralls for the time being and I think until I gather a little meat with her we will be thick as thieves.   8)

I'll work on getting an unbraced profile shot for ya sometime today...need to shoot some pics of the 1/2 dozen cane / stone point arrows I made up yesterday as well.

LOL, Thanks Mike...come on in, the sinew is warm  ;)

Got the quiver....YAHOOO....freaking awesome bro!  Woot Woot!

I owe ya something that is for dang sure!  You really should try a nice little shorty that is sinewed, it is such a marvelous material that really lets you produce some excellent stuff that plain ol' wood just cant handle.  Talk soon~

 I love a shorty, especially when someone gets all the goodie out of it, and you did with this one. Really nice bow.

Also, did you get my PM?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Man Lee I see what you are saying what I could have if I add a little sinew. Really like your bow and all the the extras you added. If you dont mind Think I'll add the horsehair tassels  to my top limb and sinew my next flat bow.. Keep it up, again super looking bow and looks fun to shoot.   Thanks Chuck
