Thanks Greg
James, I am just trying to keep up with you all.
Hamish - I do the bulk of tillering by feel, so this was challenging. Trying to feel the thickness of the valley and the peaks was difficult. I felt like the bow would have been a very efficient at 70-75# given the width/length, and design. As it is it is a little overbuilt. I overshot the draw weight because the tillering was difficult.
Yes Ed, I wish they all would give me 4 chances.
This guy was a complete gift.
Thanks Steve
Willie, I was thinking of that illustration that Allely did of an Oregon yew bow that had a keel when I was shaping this one up. I do think the keel adds performance. It adds resistance with minimal additional mass. During heat treating, it is possible to get the keel very hard.
Thanks Brenden- it has a lot of shape going on.
Thanks Stalker, no smoke and mirrors here, just a piece of yew.
Thanks Mike, Hans, rps3, Joe, mud!
Bjrogg - I think I said a little prayer as I pulled that last arrow from my quiver.
I might start carrying six or more sharp broadheads.
