Thorsten:
Some people call me a strong "boy" but I donˋt see me drawing that kind of strong bow - who can?

Since now, I only had one chance to built a bow from yew but I love that wood and I love my ELB…

52# 28" thatˋs it (only;-)

When I turned 60 (11 years ago) I thought that if I don't draw 100# now I never will.
It took a bit of training to get there, I could pull 70# but some training and improved technique got me there. Build the weight up slowly.
I still do 20 pushups every morning :)

Nice bow and video Mr. Cat.

I can tell you do those pushups. You’re still looking healthy and sharp.
