<< < (3/5) > >>

Pat B:
Thanks Kenneth. I'm gonna take this one "slow and easy" for sure.      Pat

Hillbilly:
Looking forward to seeing it. 90#!!- whatcha tryin' to do, make a bow that you can shoot at me across Cold Mountain with?

Coo-wah-chobee:
 I'll be interested to watch this-have only built one yew bow and nothing like what you are planning...........................

Pat B:
I've been working slowly on this yew bow. Finally have it bending a bit. With a tight tiller string it is at 75#@18"(about brace height). The top limb(left) is still a bit stiff but even with plenty of exercising between wood removal the bend doesn't seem to register.  I will probably settle on 100# or a bit less when done but I won't be able to shoot it. I will probably have to build a bracing jig to get it braced.
   Here are a few pics:

Looking good so far, but you may have to hook the tillering rope to your truck bumper before long........ ;)
