how do I start with warbows

Yeomanbowman:
I'm not sure where the idea that a self yew warbow was a thing on fleeting ephemeral beauty came from. That it's all very ‘nice’ but will self destruct after a short while, but it hasn’t been my experience. 
If you are looking to move up draw weight them a cheap laminate may be a pragmatic answer, based on cost.
However, why do you want to shoot in the warbow?  For me it’s a connection with my history and my heritage, so I shoot a self-bow in a period wood. That’s the real McCoy! 
If well made and looked after a self-yew will last you well, trust me on this one.  Maybe get a laminate initially, until you are happy with your style and draw weight etc., but don’t think that a self-yew/ wych elm will not last.  It will.

stevesjem:
I totally agree with Yeomanbowman.
