Workin on a shortie

I was gonna say...not enough hair for Big Jim.

I'm at a loss for words to describe this.

Dude prolly doesn't even know his glasses and hat are on backwards:)

[Stagmitis]

At least it matches the limb profile 

[Roy from Pa]

Ya it is out of tiller:)

You ain't at a loss for words...

[Roy from Pa]

Yup and the few words i's do know haint allowed here.

Well I put the bow swap bow on hold for a bit, bro is gonna turkey hunt from a blind and figured the shortie might be handy so did some shaping in it and shot it a bit and tested . Short limbs make horsepower ...

[kennym]

Braced , still don’t like it ... lol

[kennym]

28” draw

[Roy from Pa]

Full draw looks nice to me...

[kennym]

Full draw is nice but that braced profile I'm not sure of.

She's like a fun girlfriend , kinda fast but unstable...

Gonna be some pinch but I didn't really notice it.  Told John he may need to shoot 2 fingers...

[Roy from Pa]

Short bows are a little finicky.

[Shredd]

  I would think that that is great arrow speed for such a short bow...    Good job Kenny...  I am with you on the looks at brace...  Maybe you can go with a little less angle with the limbs coming off the riser and if you have to add an inch to the limbs...

[Mad Max]

Nice work Kenny

 To my selfbow builder's eye, it looks like it's bending too much in the handle. I know the handle is deflexed giving that appearance but the limbs being mostly straight at full draw and not opening up more makes it look like that to me. To my eye, a deflexed handle bow looks best with an arch of a circle tiller. Roy usually gets a good circular tiller at full draw on his R/D bows.
 This is only an aesthetics view from a selfbow builder. The numbers show good performance.

I don't think it's bending thru the handle Pat, it has glass thru belly side under the grip overlay.   I did a quick scientific check of the pics with a roll of tape  like roy does but not as techy and don't think there is difference at brace and full draw...

If it was bending thru the handle stuff would be pop in off it.
It would be cool if you put a built in lever on those tips. Just about 6 in. From the string grooves start a little kick back to about 3/4 in. I did it once by mistake. Kinda a tip wedge without the extra weight. Just stiffens that area some.

[Pat B]

The overall shape of the full draw looks to me like a selfbow that is bending in the handle. I know it's a laminated deflexed handle. Like I said it's the aesthetic appearance of the full draw pic that just doesn't have a smooth look to me.

[Roy from Pa]

I think it's more of the design, Pat.

The tips don't come around like you and I are thinking of.

I guess it's ok:)   

It's reflexed at the circle and the tips are way back, so the outer 3rd is working but not going to come around into a full arc.

Prolly why it's pretty fast..

I still guess it's ok:)
