150lb at 30" English Yew bow

<< < (4/7) > >>

WillS:
He's brilliant.  So generous as well, he'll shoot anything you make if you ask nicely :P

150lb is a walk in the park for him now - he was shooting 190lb on a days rove last year.  Quite an achievement!

FilipT:
He has lot of practice and had probably a gazillion of bows to work the weight up. No wonder really.

Hi Will,

Good to see you and your new addition to the family the other day at the Warbow Wales meet at Wye Valley.

Joe shot your bow well and as you said he very kindly offered to shoot mine also. Thought it would be interesting to post the distances shot with a Westminster Abbey arrow and natural strings:

English Yew 150@30 - 237 yards
English Ash 115@30 - 237 yards
English Yew 120@30 - 230 yards
English Yew 110@30 - 186  yards
English Elder 120@32 - 171 yards

All the best,
Alistair

Alder eh! Do you know the botanical name?
