What to use?

(1/2) > >>

JonW:
Well after making my trade bow this year. I have come to determine I can pull quite a bit more than I thought. My trade bow came out at 82# and I would have bet it was 65#. I shot this bow all day one day at MOJAM around the course so I think I'm ready for a heavyweight. To make a long story longer, what wood should I use? I have access to Osage, Elm, and HHB and Hickory saplings or would split staves work better? Dimension? I'm not a noob to making bows so please answer accordingly.

Danzn Bar:
How well did you shoot it??   :-\

JonW:
Pretty well actually. What are you getting at?

Danzn Bar:
You asked what type of wood to use?..... ???
I'd use the what that bow was made from if you shot it well................

Knoll:
