Second Spring Warbow Shoot

(1/2) > >>

adb:
Greetings! Cam & I were out this morning for another shoot. We had the block set at 200 yards (verified with laser range finder). Slight following wind, maybe 5-10 km/hr. Perfect day! I'm wearing my CWBS t-shirt... that's for you Jake!!

Cam was shooting his new bow... 85#@30" (we put it up on my tiller tree to check the exact weight) tri-lam... hickory, ipe, osage. 72" ntn.  He's pulling it to 31", so it's probably 88 - 90# @31".

I was shooting my maple backed yew... 90#@30". 76" ntn.

Cam out-shot me today! His best cast was 213 yards with a 66 gram arrow. My best was 198 yards with 63 gram arrow. He was also closest to the mark... only about 4 yards wide right. He also shot one which was exactly on-line, but went over top and ended up about 6 yards long.

Great photos gents! Looks like a great day was had! (Bit warm perhaps though eh?!) Thanks for posting adb!
You two got some fair distances too, especially for the bow and arrow weights, well done!
Cheers!   ;D

PS Love the shirt mate!

Thanks, Jake! Thought you might like the T.

I think Cam's bow is amazing. It's 85-90#@31", and he's getting 213 yards with a livery weight arrow. That is top shelf for that draw weight! For basically being the same as my yew bow, he out shot me by a good 15%. That extra inch of draw sure makes a difference. I had a chance to shoot his bow, and it felt basically the same as mine... but being 4" longer, my bow felt a little lighter and smoother.

Ian.:
Looked like a great time, nothing like shooting in company. Is your max draw 30" or could you draw further?
