80" White Elm Warbow Build-along

Cameroo:
Sorry, I don't have access to a chrono.

Cameroo:
Just a little update on this bow - A few of us were out for a shoot yesterday with some EWBS spec arrows.  We were shooting for records, so I only got to shoot two arrows of each type, but this bow managed to cast a standard arrow 244 yards.  I think with a little more practice on my part, this bow could do even better.  But that beat my personal best by about 14 yards, so I was happy :)
