Kviljo:
Just though I would share my little warbow here too :)

I finished it long ago and shot a couple of arrows from it, but after checking it with Badgers mass formula, I found that it was highly stressed so I didn't dare to draw it for the whole winter. I recenty stressed it down a bit, and retillered it once more. So this evening I finally took the camera with me, and was ready to forgive the bow if it wanted to leave this world ::)   But it didn't, and it was great to shoot ;D

It draws 70# @ 28", and is 70,5" nock to nock. After perhaps 50 arrows tonight, it followed the string 0,5", measured from the back. I hope and think it will do quite well as a broadhead-flightbow, though I would have to make another string for it. The linnen string is oversized for the bow, but should be close to Mary Rose spec..

Ahh, can't wait for my 80" yew stave to get dry ;D

I've always liked the look of that stave.  Great looking bow there Kviljo.  I hope you'll be posting some video's soon.

Those are 75 gram/ 1157 grain arrows by the way ;D

duffontap:
Nice work!  Have you shot for distance yet.  Those 75 gram arrows should be eating that bow for lunch.

Kviljo:
Nope, but I'm hoping to angle it at 42,8 degrees soon. I'll just have to make some suitable arrows first.

They slowed it down for sure, but not as much as I would have expected.
The bow is 33mm X 30mm at the handle, and 27mm X 26mm at about midlimb, so I think it should be pretty high-performance :)
Well, that's what I hope anyway 8)
