can you please give us more detail. like:

thickness and wide of limbs, size of handles... if possible zoomed photo-shots to details?

any detail that you can give, since i would like to try this one with eucalyptus wood.
also having such a short bow means you can carry it wherever you may go. this is nice.

best.

Well you know ink, that even with the same bow wood, bows of the same exact dimensions will yield different performance.

I can pass on what this bows dimensions are but especially with another species, it would be a lot different results.

It just shoots awesomely! I notice quite a bit of difference in the quality of the shot if I don't attain an honest full draw.

If I short draw or my form collapses the shot will almost always hit low left. Maybe it's the short length. If I reach and hold full draw then the groups this bow will shoot are really great.

Once I get it to the finish stage, I will add a snake skin over the sinew. I have fired several hundred shots out of this bow now. I think she's going to make it.

It goes back to straight when unstrung so it lost some reflex.

It is probably my fastest yet. Sinew is some amazing stuff. A little tough getting used to a shorter bow but it really shoots great.
