Cool bow! Reminds me of my Cascade, my first recurve after I rediscovered them!  Could you post a pic or two and some info on your pattern sander? Always looking for ideas to up my game.

Brad is the man when it come to shorties.  That is just about the coolest bow yet.

[Blaino]

I've been checking on this bow everyday for 10 days! You would think it was going to be mine.....

[Werewolf]

WOW!that is soo friggin cool.where do you get solid phenolic for the riser.

[bjansen]

I got the riser chunk from Plastics International.  Going to sand the riser this weekend...that is a messy task.

When Kiko Tovar was still with us and building the KT44 he had special short bow stringers made that went any of his bows. I have a beautiful OD green phenolic handle KT44 which Kiko gave to me the year before he passed away. Kiko was a great man with time for anyone and always willing to help. He was an original short bow guy and could really shoot them.

Here's a pic of a JT44 that I had about 4 years ago..can't wait to see Brads bow.      

[bjansen]

Nice one Robert... Do you know if the JT is for shorter or longer draws as compared to the KT?


In the process of moving to a new location, thus all bow building is on hold for a littl while.

[Robertfishes]

I don't know for sure..I think there was a maximum draw weight difference in the two models, one could not be built over 50#'s due to riser design?? or something like that. I was buying and selling a few bows 4 years ago and this one was one I didn't have long. maybe Meggarch can answer a few questions? I think the Kiko Tovar bows are really cool.

John Tluszcz(?) was Kiko Tovar's apprentice from what I understand, so when Kiko passed he took over. The KT is for Kiko Tovar and the JT is for John Tluszcz. Belive the the JT's are 45-55# draw and the KT's are 55-65# draw. I've always wanted to shoot one, never have had the chance. Absolutely love short bows, even with a 29" draw. Bjansen, can not wait to see the finished product!!!

[Buemaker]

Most interesting, waiting for the finished result.The 44" is it measured AMO or how.Bue--.
