last week Jake Fenwick( agincourtwarbow) took a trip down to rhode island, so naturally we had to do some shooting, this was the first time i had shot warbows with someone else and it was a blast ;D . i also finally have some resemblance of a shooting form which with a little training on  the second day let me get to a full draw on my 140lb hickory, i admit though, i still have a LONG way to go with that bow ;)

Ian.:
Nicely done Jake, your technique reminds me of a certain EWBS member.

Noel, please get yourself a lighter bow, you are a long way off that one yet.

bubby:
i think if i was shooting with him i'd stand on the other side, seem's to be well overbowed, Bub

fishfinder401:
like i said i have a ways to go, but i can pull that bow to full draw only need to start working on technique more ( allot more) and get more practice in
also the reason i was leaning more to that side is i was aiming more in that direction and as far as getting a lighter bow, i have a yew im working on now hopefully to be 120lbs, but the ay i see it, if you haven't reached your limit and you aren't pushing yourself as hard as you can you will never make any reel progress

Agincourtwarb0w:
What a great time that was! Great shooting was indeed had and hopefully much more in the future.
 Well what I can say about Noel and his 140lb bow (which it is, let me assure everyone that I can second that claim) is that I saw a huge improvement between the two days, he a very strong chap and I think we will see him pull it fully soon enough. It may be that for the time being it is a little heavy for him, but after shooting for five of six full hours one day and on the Thursday ready as ever for another full afternoon gives me confidence that he will do it, on day two of the video it should be noted that both of our distances improved, a surprising amount. I do think that once he finishes his 120lbs, he be able to build much more of a technique and have a safer base as weights increase!

Thank you very much Ian!!! It is always great to hear from a fellow EWBS member, especially one in England, there isn't much to go by across the pond. My 122lber should be here next week, hopefully my form will not be affected when pulling it! Will let you know when she arrives. Hope you are well mate,
-Jake
