--- Quote from: glass-knapper on September 08, 2010, 11:40:14 am ---     I just finished an ash longbow in a holmgaard style and I backed it with hickory from 3 rivers.  It took some set but it finished out @ 47# @ 29" with comfortable stack and  a  smooth draw.  I tried 11/32 sitka spruce arrows, but it seems to like 5/16 poplar target arrows better with less drop @ 30yds.
I plan on taking a deer out of my back 40 with it this fall.  Don't listen to everyone about what works and doesn't work;  try anything that comes to mind.  Remember, the indians didn't have the internet... they just made bows 'til one of them killed an animal and fed their family!!!

What do you mean by "comfortable stack?"
