@Bow toxo
The guy I built it for wanted 28" draw. I'm sure it would come back further. I tested it on the tiller to 29", with those two big bad knots I didn't want to risk it further unecessarilly.
I'm drawing it as far as I can! :'( I'm not a youngster anymore... >:(

I know what you mean. 90# at 29" would be too much for me these days. I posted before reading your other postings. I would not have thought that anyone wanting a Mary Rose replica would be doing Victorian shooting, but maybe he planned to make the shorter Mary Rose arrows which must have been shot oiut of the bows that were found.

A reasonable assumption unless the shorter arrows were fitted with long bodkin heads and the arrow drawn past the shoulder of the bodkin, as was demonstrated by Alanesq and is, I believe, mentioned on his site.
