Ian.:
Start stockpiling materials now Will, you will soon struggle to get anything good. And making bows over 100/110 is a different ball game but you should be able to do it, their are plenty in the EWBS that will help.

Thanks Ian, this forum alone is so packed with people happy and ready to help that I know I'll be there soon. My recent knotty twisted yew bow came out at 80ish so I'm not a million miles away. I just ordered myself an Italian yew stave as well, so at some point in the next few years I'll be tackling that!

I so badly want to be able to join the EWBS using a bow I've made myself! I'm only 24 though, so I've got time... Patience, patience...

Actually Ian, it was for him, but he thought that it was a bit short; at 73" it may not be acceptable for the MR class! :( I have kept it for me and made him another - you'll see them in Swindon for sure.

That's a real pity Dave as that is a very fine bow!! I remember seeing it when you first made it but in Glennan's hands you can really see how small it is! Again a pity about that because it looks like it is capable of some impressive distances! Have either of you shot it for them anyways? I would be very keen to know! Beautiful bend, nearly makes me cringe to see how far the bend extends! heh heh lovely mate!
