Ok Guys, my turn is coming up in the next few weeks for an Elkheart build. My Question is, do any of you who have one , have a 52 incher? My draw length is 26, so I know I can go with the 52 or 54. How is the shoot ability of the shorter bows with shorter draw lengths? Thanks

I use to have a Elkheart. These bows are designed to be short but no advantage of super short. I would not go shorter than 54 for reasons listed above. Gregg make a nice bow, you will like it!

I have a Elkhart which I purchased at Kalamazoo and my new Assyrian is in the mail on its way supposed to be here Friday both 58 inches

The Java Man is top notch. I had my Helmsdeep out today, 54" long, smooth draw, no finger pinch. I'd order a 54" and spend my energy on choosing the wood and phenolic combinations. Get something interesting.

You could match Osage with Cocobolo. Or, put a little piece of Karelian Birch in the riser.

Here is a picture of a beautiful bow that I lifted from cleenrelees here. It is tiger maple, purple heart, and Macaser ebony. You could substitute curly maple, and red and black phenolic.

I have a 56" elk heart and draw almost 27". It's my go to bow and probably my favorite out of all my bows. I wouldn't hesitate to go with a 54" or 52". As you probably know, Gregg is top notch and a pleasure to deal with!

I have the 60" Falcon in black and white ebony and love it

I’d be in the camp of 54 or 56 inch length. A little more forgiving in my opinion.

Good choice either way.

Thanks for all the great info, decided on a “54”, wanted an all Black and Gray bow, with accents, so it’s gonna be Gray “camo” veneers, Black Dymalux and Gray phenolic I-beam riser with blue accents, water buffalo tip and handle overlays, with finger grooves! Think it gonna be really Sharp looking!

That sounds hideous :)

longbowbud,,,,, I know right! Lol

OK..... I suck!! Please delete above posts since I can't figure it out. Thanks

Please post some pictures of your Javabow when you receive it. I will (we will) be waiting for your new bow to arrive for as long as you will. I can picture the black and gray, but I'd like to see the blue trim.

I will definitely post pics, I received an email from Gregg that my build will start next week Tuesday! I am also going with the bow bolt take down system.

Here ya go FG:

THANKS Bryan!!

Fall Gray, nice pic, I like the drawn profile of the bow.

Those of you who shoot a 54" Elkhart what is your draw? I'm debating between a 56" and a 54" my draw is 29" Thanks
