Yew Bow Goes BANG!

(1/3) > >>

Cameroo:
Thought some of you guys might find this a bit amusing. I had a maple-backed yew bow tillered out to 120 lbs at 30" and she gave out at full draw.  I wanted to check the tiller with the bow drawn in my hand, so I just happened to be recording a video when she blew. This was a sketchy piece of wood that I didn't have much confidence in from the start, so it didn't really come as a big surprise. I did manage to get off about 15 shots before this, and it launched an 80 gram arrow 230 yards at only about a 28 or 29 inch draw. Would have been nice to see what it did at 32 inches, but now I'll never know!
