Another J. D. Duff Yew War Bow (Finally)
Matti:
Beautiful bow! Well done!!
Marc St Louis:
Very nice. I'm also 6' 2" but cannot pull those heavy bows. You do a good job of it.
duffontap:
Thanks Everyone!
Glennan,
I have mixed feelings about the nocks. I think I like the more ornate horns better for aesthetic reasons but the simple ones seem more authentic. In the future I'm going to stop including the second groove because I don't use a stringer anymore. Thanks for the advice about my stiff legs. I don't think I released an arrow on that shot which may explain it. I'm still a very awkward shooter so I'll post a video that you can look at. I try to incorperate the Mark Stretton hop on release. My timing is sometimes off but my distances are improving. Thanks again.
Miles,
Glad you like it. I do draw with 2 fingers. I was forced into this when I injured a finger but it just stuck. Thanks.
Jaro,
Better tiller? That's the best compliment of all. I'd never thought about drawing longer. I'll have to work into that. I may be able to do 33" on that bow now. You think it would be safe for the bow?
Justin,
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D If I can afford to get to Alaska.
Matti,
Thanks a lot!
Jeremy,
I'm with you on those nocks. If I can keep them from breaking off, that's a good start. The main trouble I've had is with this buffalo horn having flaws in it. I'm going back to longhorn. I really like the more rectangular section. I'll have to shoot it more before I can tell you about perfomance or weight. Btw, you're looking at 44" billets. I'd be jealous too. :D
Kvilijo,
I'll have to pass the compliments about the pictures on to my wife. I'll weigh the bows some day.
Marc,
I thought you could pull around 100#? Well, you can build them better than anyone. Thanks for the kind words.
