ERC and MR almost replica Yew bows
TimothyR:
Gorgeous bows.
peacefullymadewarbows:
Thank you Timothy!
bradsmith2010:
Nice bows.,,congrats....could you make the cedar longer in hopes it would last longer? Or do u think it would hurt performance?
Badger:
I am curious what the mass weight on those bows are. My mass calculator would call for the erc bow to be about 30 oz but I suspect that that might be too light.
On the yew bow it calls for about 33 oz because of the elyptical tiller but I always deduct some when yew is used.
peacefullymadewarbows:
Hey guys. I think I had that specific ERC measured out to 32oz. Steve, but that was a while ago before it broke so don't take it as gospel.
Hi brad. I actually have 2 more surviving ERC bows both 101lbs @ 31" that have survived 200 plus arrows that are actually shorter. One is 77 inches ntn and 29.1 oz and the other is 80 inches ntn and 30.8 oz. So I think you get lucky with some staves that will hold up and others are the stereotypically brittle in tension.
