I know a little about horn bows, but I would thing pulling a bow 1" at a time on a tiller tree would not be very accurate because the sinew and horn would not act like a draw and release shot ( stretching and compressing for the length of time to record it) I THINK ???
Awesome bow :OK

yes. i agree. this would be the case for any all natural material horn bow or wood bow. less likely to be the case with modern laminated fg bows. Ive retested one of my horn bows a month or so ago and it had gained 10lbs of draw weight at 28" over just a few months. this bow had been finished for about a year. moisture plays a huge part in this. I could take this bow and draw it in ontario canada one day and then a few fly out to the much dryer alberta a few days later and draw with noticable draw weight increase. this is due to moisture. Many guys that go out to the salt flats find this to be the case and thus take several bows that range in weights to mitigate this gain or loss of moisture and still be at target draw weight. it would be difficult to get acurate draw force numbers that would last is what im getting at I guess. the horn bow is more like a living fluid moving thing that behaves differently when warmed up too. this would also affect then numbers. Ive been super busy witht he move and now tht that is done i can get my new shop in order and do some testing again.
