Del the cat:
That's my mate JT, I can't draw the damn thing. That's a standard Warbow arrow :)

ChrisD:
Looks like he can't draw it either! Very nice bow. Theres another in a recent post showing stiff tips and too much movement in the middle - either a waste of a good stave or a 60lb bow in the making. What you've done looks just about right. Not whip tillered but stern in all the right places.Nicely done.

Del the cat:
... but if he'd had some decent warm up time and wasn't standing in a doorway he'd have been fine....
He just dropped by to pick it up.
Sheesh... everyone's a critic ::)

Yeah, warbow arrows don't play, always cracks me up when you see in documentaries where they supposedly test this or that armor against the longbow or even in movies and they're using standard target arrows. This wasn't like the movies getting shot in the shoulder with standard size arrows and riding off on your horse to snap the shaft and pull it out later, a volley of English warbow was a rain of miniature spears!

Badger:
  One of my pet peeves in flight shooting competition is that elbs have no weight limit on arrows and can shoot arrows well below 200 grains. I gives every incentive to design the bow in such a way that is not truly an elb. I would like to see at least a 7 grain per pound lower limit on arrow weight.
