it is smooth, the short bows are nearing their maximum bending limit at my draw length, this one is probably close to 10" away from that limit.
it is smooth on the draw and release is not jerky like a short bow.
My rusty cotton weighing scale says it pulls 56# at 28" we were trying for 50/55# james done good.

Mike...............

No lessons given here. If I ever had the time and opportunity to come to Rupert, Idaho I would certainly want to spend a few days in your shop, watching and learning your building process. You Da-Man and again, thanks for your help with this build.
