Yew Warbow - 130-140# question.

<< < (3/9) > >>

Davepim:
You seem to have left an awful lot of sapwood on that stave! I'd have taken away at least half of that before touching the belly of the bow. That way you would have got better performance out of it.

Cheers, Dave

Looking good.
Holding a CD up in front of the pic, it looks like maybe the right limb is working a tad hard in it's centre. Maybe a whisker stiff in it's inner 1/3 ?

That is looking very nice. You should easily get 100+# out of it. It's stiff in the handle, but it's far from full draw. Keep going!

The left limb is stiff to me, it is lower, there are about 1 " reflex near the middle, and it makes it a little hard there, but you are right, may be right limb looks is hard.
