             Thx guys.  Yup, yer correct more can be done. Its a back up bow so I dont wanna really go any further, Shoots fine and will perform fine ifn called on. IMHO florida yew is stronger than pacific yew. Ive made quite a few bows from the wood and they ALL were good shooters and strong as heck. Wood is gettin' tough ta get since it only grows in north florida on the Appalachicola river banks and a few other places which will remain nameless ! ;) ha-still looks like a korean bow ta me ;D...bob

    It is a really nice bow Bob.I was wondering how it got out of that national Forest and it only grows in one small area there.I was wondering if a road trip was in order so I could see it growing in the wild. ::)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
