American Yew 130lb at 32"
druid:
Great bow Ian. For my taste it works in the middle litltle bit more than I like. It is lovely yew...
Ian.:
You and me both, but knots and the natural shape of the stave meant that I needed to tiller it that way.
PAHunter:
"Cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war!" >:D Very cool looking bow and tiller looks great!!

Here it is at an EWBS event in Derbyshire. I shot 230yds with a Standard arrow, which is pretty disappointing but the stave really wasn't suitable for a heavy bow, so I did what I could.
adb:
230 yards with a standard arrow is not bad, but I do agree... at 130#, it should do better. I regularily get 200+ yards with a livery weight arrow from my 100# tri-lam.
