hi all,

I had a question about a 71 inch long longbow/warbow.
I want to tiller te bow to 29inches but the stave (ash backed elm) is 71inch long.
Is it in my situation possible to make a bow which bend though the handle? or is
it saver(becaurse I want a bow that shoots not one thats in 2 pieces) to make
a victorian style longbow?

finished a hickory backed yew which is 72" long, draws 32" @ 110LB.  I reckon you'll be ok with what you plan.
