Nice...

i agree with Del, i'm no expert on warbow shooting, but it just look's smooth and has a nice flow with the follow thru as compared to before, Bub

I have never shot a war bow or even seen anyone shoot a war bow.
Now... I dont know exactly what I am looking at but...

I am a 'movement specialist' so to speak and I see a lot of wasted energy...

I saw others comment on the follow through and that was the first thing I noticed, then
the initial draw.

I have never shot a war bow but efficiency in movement is my speciality...

I don't know what weight you shooting but I bet you can up it, by a hefty margin. Perhaps even your draw length.

fishfinder401:
my draw length was actually lengthened by this technique, its now 33.5-34, and yes i would like to up the weight from the 130 that that bow is to about 150, i just need to make the bow, which is hard with  only time every few weekends because of college to shoot or work on bows, witht the exception of this weak thanks to the hurricane
as to the follow through, that's something i am working on, and is getting better slowly, so, what do you mean by the initial draw? i would like to be as wefficient as possible, but there is a certain amount of wasted movement i did to make it feel smoother

oscar3b:
The I've never shot a warbow either but I'm really wanting to.  As far as the draw was concerned it looked smooth to me, but I don't know about the mechanics of the movement.  I'm working on getting the materials together right now to begin one myself however so I was wondering about something.  What kind of wood was the bow that you were shooting in the video?
