Is Yew Good?

<< < (5/8) > >>

Fundin:
I made a yew bow that I shoot regularly, it is 51#@26" 68"ntn longbow... I have shot it approximately 40000 shots and it havn´t lost one pound in drawweight, and is shooting with pleasing accuracy ;o)

 This is what I can do with it from 20 yards  ;D

david w.:

Heiner:
Nah, not really Steve. I expected your answer a lot earlier ;D. What took you so long?

Regarding the topic, everything has been said, written and done. Yew is among the most superior bow woods on this planet. Taking everything into account, one can't cast it out of the top 5. Personal opinion will change that as little as discussing it the 123457894357th time.

And by the way, which mysterious bow maker, whose name obviously not shall be spoken out loudly or written to remain in time, are we talking about?
