Thanks everyone.

The arrow is 1/2" ash with an armor pierceing bodkin. I believe it is over 1300 grains.

Here is a video of me shooting the warbow. She's fast.

Man you do great work. No power tools I assume? If I made a 100# bow I'd have to use both hands and feet ;D

Nice bows as usual, man the poundage would fix my shoulder issues, I'd be scheduling surgery sooner.

Nice tiller on both of those bows, Thimo.    I'm working on a yew heavy but only have it bending about 2". I'll never be able to pull it. Heck, it hurts just to see pics of you and others pulling the heavies.    Pat

damn Thimo! those are some real monsters. just out of curiosity what is the heaviest bow you have ever drawn? My record is 91 pounds. those bows make me wanna do some of my own.
Deep is our blow, our wrath invincible,
we have no mercy, no homeland.
Our fortune is at the point of our swords,
our hearts may never give in.
Our war cry rings out, enchanting, to a land
that is breaking loose of its chains.
:;: Our defiance may not tire
until the people of Finland are free

FN the heaviest so far is 135#. I'm still trying to cross the 150# mark.

As usual Thimo awesome bows, I stand in awe of you guys that can crank them heavy bows back.

Very nice Thimo. Don't give yourself a hernia pulling those monsters back, like I did. :)
