mangonboat had this lying about, and it not only drew to 32" but to 35" without stacking.  I'm not able to get those last few inches to 35" yet (as I'm still working back up from the stroke) but it shoots absolutely where I point it.  Silently, too.  I'll work on skinning the limbs and practicing with it while my hip heals (it's not going well) but I'm sure I can get it looking as good as it shoots (because there is no way on earth it can ever look that good, it's just that solid of a shooter-best I've shot with a shelf.)

But one thing, and one thing only.  A pink string?  I get pink arrows.  But you're gonna have people thinking I've gone soft.  

*I had to have fun with the string comment.  There's absolutely no negatives to this bow, so I had to create one.  It doesn't even slap my arm.*

Can I ask how you did that?  I have seen several of these bows, but don't know exactly what to look for to find the "right bow" to do one.

That bow will never find a better archer to carry it...a good fit!

So it's an old Bear compound riser, How'd to put the "rockers" on the limbs.....???   :confused:

I made one of these, a lefty,  by cutting the locator pins off the rockers and expoxy-ing them onto the Sage limbs, and that worked fine but the bow was noisier than I wanted because the rockers had no flexibility to "seat" in the riser sockets as the bow was drawn. Version 2, "Bride of Frankenbow", is a righty . I used the compound limbs to make a template to drill out  Sage limbs with two holes to exactly fit the rocker tabs, and that was quieter. It's a great shooting combo, and the combination of the riser and limb length, 64", and the limb attachment angle creates a bow with a 9+" brace height that is well suited for a very long draw.
