hazel 'warbow'

(1/4) > >>

nickf:
it pulls close to 90# @ 29", I tillered it to 28 and after drawing to 29 the lower limb started to take some more bend. So I'll get that top limb bending slightly more (at mid-outer limbs) and go for 30"-31", for some more warbow-like draw :)
72" ntn, 1 1/2" wide at the handle.
drawn to 29 in this pic

flat belly, slightly crowned back, probably the best shape for hazel.
I've got plans for 100# @ 32" , 76"ntn hazel bows... wish me luck :)
still 360 days till I turn 17, hopefully I'll crank even more bows this year :D

nickf:
a little scraping... drawn to 30"

still unhappy with it, seeing the lower limb, being 2" shorter, bending more I'm getting more and more certain I can get this one up to 32" drawlength... if I get that upper limb bending more and better, ofcourse.

Have you shot it yet?  hows it shoot?  I wouldn't settle on the tiller until I'd sunk a good number of arrows.  It's coming along nicely (imo) but that could change a bit once a few war arrows have been let loose

nickf:
I shot like 60arrows @ 28" and drawn it over 200times :)
