Dels 100# Elm Warbow
Del the cat:
Good vid. I see exactly what you mean.
Another thing is I probably cant the bow a bit too much which doesn't help.
I'll prob shoot some more this afternoon... with maybe a newspaper down my shirt ;)

I've got the Yew Warbow on a long string, pulling the tips down to about brace height... it's taking 140# to get it back that far :o.
But of course once a sting is on it that poundage dissapears and becomes the starting point of the draw weight (effectively zero! All very confusticating...).
Pics on the blog later today...

I had the exact same problem with canting! I found it much more comfortable to cant a longbow when shooting target, so with draw weights of around 40 - 60lbs, and going from that to war bows took a long time to break the habit of canting!
It does feel very odd bringing the lower limb around in front of you, so with that plus the odd body posture it all takes a while!
Heffalump:
Already salivating at the thought of that bow Del......I'll look at your bowyery bloggings later today ;)
Please be careful with her ;)......now I've seen your pictures of the stave and the tree she originally came from, I'm already feeling an emotional attachment to that piece of timber. I suspect that, rather like pins a voodoo doll.....if it explodes on the tiller in Harlow, I'm probably gonna collapse in pain 15 miles away in Cuffley :o :laugh:
Heffalump:
Correct me if I'm wrong folks, but is Del the first guy ever to get his tits out on PA?! :o ......... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
