Sweet looking bow!  I too am curious on how you like shooting it.  It sure is a short, forward handle design - love the looks of it.
Enjoy the hunt!  - Mitch

Thanks y'all.

-Kenny, I only have 4 forms. This one and my hybrid form and a 60" curve and a 56" curve. I had others but they turned into the 56" curve form and my original forward riser design of warped in the oven because I didn't reinforce it    :knothead:    I've been meaning to do this one for a while but just now got around to it.

-mwosborn,  I like it. I shoot lefty but I made this one righty and it shoots great I think. It's smooth and comfortable and fast. I shot with it at a shoot yesterday and didn't shoot all that great but I was shooting right handed so it was definitely my fault and not the bows    :D    Others guys shot it and really liked it.

Very nice. May I ask what taper rate you used in such a short bow? Bue--.
