Yew Self Bow w/ Pics

<< < (2/4) > >>

Marc St Louis:
You may consider reducing the length of the non working handle next time. This will give you more working limb and reduce overal stress on the limbs.

Justin Snyder:
Like Marc said, there is a lot of wood not working in the handle and fades. It was a beautiful bow though. At least Ken got to shoot it a couple of times.  Justin

Live and learn!    I know how you feel though, having broken several bows myself. Don't stop and don't give up! You'll get a good shooter from that last one, I know it.

Joe,

Before I put a finish on a bow I excercise it on my tillering tree for about 5 days - 100 pulls a day. If something isn't quite right, it will usually reveal itself during that period.

That was a beauty though.

Gordon

medicinewheel:
