Am I right to assume this bow would be thinner if it was Alpine Yew? And when starts process of applying horns?
P.S.
Few days ago I made double pulley, really strong, tiller tree so I am ready for the warbows. That is why I must read and ask everything.

I wouldn't make any assumptions about Yew based on it's ring thickness, colour, country of origin, altitude it was grown at etc.
I only use the long string thing on Warbows, I don't think its accurate or appropriate on lighter bows it is very useful on warbows as they are very difficult to brace early on.

That is a stout stick Del!
Any bow will show accurate draw weight readings on the long string versus braced. the weight doesn't matter. It's quite handy really :)

Yeah, it's one of those things I learned late, but I'm happy to keep learning... With lighter bows I just like to get to brace early as IMO it gives a truer view of the tiller.
Getting this sucker to brace is a right palaver with the winch rope and the tiller rope both going through the pulley and Emily Cat patting at the loose ends :laugh: . She wanders through the workshop sharpening her claws on my target boss and looking for spiders like she owns the place... mind if she's in there when a bow explodes it will curb her enthusiasm >:D

What is the easiest way to brace heavy weight bows? Btw, is that bow for you, i.e. will you shoot it or is intended for someone else?
