That's one of those bows that you want to hold just because it is so pretty!

Thanks for the kind words guys.The pic shows a different bow same design drawn to 27 1/2".It feels like it would be smooth to 29",but I have only checked it to 28" on a scale.
Brad your right,inspired by the Howatt Hi-Speed.
Howatt had a good design and fast shooting bows.
Bear had something similar going on in the fifties and they were known to be fast bows.
This bow has good manners,shooting and feeling like a longer bow and has good speed.
