This is almost as funny to make the bow as to shoot it.

This is one of mine : http://ceciletoxo.free.fr/mini/bamboubis.jpg
With some arrows : http://ceciletoxo.free.fr/mini/flechesbis.jpg

I made them in bambou with very few tools...
The bow is 33.5 cm high, brace height is 14.5 cm and the poundage is 2.1 lbs.

On the French archery forum Webarcherie, I was most surprised to see how people are becoming interested in miniaturized bows. There are a lot who have decided to do the same.
I saw a miniaturized native american bows that is a real beauty !! And it also shoots arrows!

I was thinking that our british friends might as well enjoy such toys, so I posted here !
