ELB dimensions in yew?

(1/1)

stuckinthemud:
Ok, so I am not blessed with height, at 5’6 and I only draw 24” on a bend thru handle design.  I have a 8’ length of yew I’ve been saving and I think I’d like to build an ELB .  With my height and draw a 6’ long bow might be overkill, what sort length would get the best from the wood? Was thinking of maybe 66’ or 68’ might be better?

Pat B:
66" to 68" would probably be right for your height and draw length.
