HHB Warbow: A build along
Badger:
Ian, in 2008 Marlon Torres shot one of Marks bows 353 yards for a new world record, a few days later it was broken by a European. I believe Marlon could have shot much further with a lighter arrow than he used. I believe his arrow was close to 600 grains. With a 400 grain arrow he would have easily shot over 400 yards. My bet is that the bow mark is building now has more than 400 yards in it.
Ian.:
The shot after Marlon was in the UK, was 414 yds which currently stands. It was unofficially beaten with a shot of 438 but that is not considered as the world record.
600 grains is a pretty light arrow for what I image was a heavy bow if Marlon had it, can performance be gained by going much lower than that?
I sure would love to see a picture of the bow being shot if there is one.
Marc St Louis:
Haven't tested the final weight yet Ian and unfortunately I have to go away for a week due to medical reasons
Ian.:
Take it easy, heavy bows aren't something to be trifled with if your not 100%.

Hello Marc,
ammazing bow, as usual :)
One question, how is the cross section? From one picture I suppose that it's a flat back and somewhat shallow rounded belly. correct?
Good work!
