A Two Holer
« on: July 26, 2018, 12:55:06 pm »
My last two wiggly billets. Yew, 66.5"NTN 42#@27". 172FPS with a 400gr arrow @ 27". Chew hoof arrow pass and some kind of reddish wood for tips. Bloodwood or Kingwood I think. The wiggly bits are just out from the fades so it kind of cut down on working limb. I had steamed enough reflex so the tips were past the handle but it mostly pulled out. No heat treat. It actually shoots nice. Bit of hand shock though. A nice break from backed R/D's.

That's a pretty wild looking bow.  Very well done.
