Distance expectations

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ian.:
I think the reflex will add a lot, when I glue up my next bow I am going to put reflex in as I think its vital for performance. As you say 78" is long but it should still perform, has it got much early draw weight? It would be good to have you in the EWBS, its pretty competitive at the minute with some very impressive bows being made. I use Richard Head's machine made bodkins for my standard arrows, its the only arrow that doesn't have to have a forged head.
 
On a side note Bamboo isn't allowed in the EWBS unless its with a flight arrow, so the current distances will be set with Hickory backs.

ian, im curious, how would someone join the ewbs? sounds like the type of place that could help me learn

Hi Noel

I can't post links, but if you go to the English Warbow Society webpage then look at the membership tab there's a form you will need to complete and send off, its £5 to become an associate member. There is also an American chapter starting on facebook, I would start by joining there. You will get loads of advice and help.

ok, thanks, i am actually helping start the American warbow society, but i figure, for the meantime, joining the ewbs would be a good way to make contacts and learn, so i can help pass it on

For me, with a 100# bow using a livery arrow (64 grams), 200 yards is a decent benchmark.
