YewArcher:
Nick, what distances are you all shooting at over there while Roving?

SJM

ThimoS:
Wonderfull work and beauty of a collection there.

YewArcher:
thanks Thimo,

Lots of bow making been going on over here!

She is still holding the same amount of set and has lost now weight. Great shooting bow. I will try and get some shot distances soon.

D. Tiller:
Question! Do you have the limbs start to taper straight out of the handle or do you keep them parallel to mid limb?

I have tried them both ways and seems like the one that tapers straight out of the handle are the ones I make with less hand shock. Still have not made one up to the weights you all are but I will one day!

YewArcher:
Dave, My width is the same for 20". 10" to either side of the center line. I then start to taper to the tips. The depth is slightly differnt. I usually keep the first 5"  from center the same depth and then start tapering. This usually give me a nice compass profile on a long draw.
