Marc St Louis:
Very nice Josh. So nice in fact that I'm thinking of building another. :)

Marlon,
Thanks a lot.  I don't know if I'd ever have gotten this thing to full draw without your shoulder exercises.  I depend on them to shoot pain-free, even with hunting weight bows. 

Thanks Ratty!

Justin,
I'm under a lot more control than I used to be.  I used to bounce off the ground when I released this bow and almost topple over.  Have you considered building and Osage warbow?

Yeomanbowman,
You're sure right about the elbow position!  The pictures I originally posted on englishwarbow.com/forum were from the first time I ever shot it.  I was getting whipped by that bow.  Jaro sent me some videos right away that helped me to straighten things out.  It's sure helping.  Thanks for the kind words about the bow.  It was a bit of a character stave for a war bow but I like the look at full draw.

Miles,
Thanks a lot.  I'm so glad PA is doing this. 

Marc,
I don't blame you a bit.  These bows are fun to make and fun to shoot.  I've got another that I'll post soon--same weight as this one.  I tillered my new bow a little rounder in the handle so I'll have to see how the two compare.  As far as I know there are a couple schools of thought on how these war bows should be tillered.  This bow bends progressively more toward the tips which is what Tim Baker describes as perfect tiller for heavy war bows.  I like the look of bows that bend more in the handle I think.  I'll have to see how they look in pictures side-by-side. 

Thanks everyone for getting this forum off to a good start!
