If you have a heat gun, you could make a Plains type highly deflexed bow. I have a bow that is 56 inches long that I draw 28 inches.

We have a heat gun, but no electricity. Only a small generator. But the pieces i cut were only 44in long. I might just practice on a few since they are already dried.
