Hey fellas!!
Itīs been a whyle since I posted the thread where this Ash bow of mine was posted here!
The bow itself gives arround 94@#32 and Itīs 74" ntn.
Here is drawn by hand at 30-31" in lenght so I need some time untill this Ash Warbow is Fully draw and, the most important thing, CONTROLLED!!..:D...
By the moment this is the stage where I am right now!!

Very nice Asier. How does she shoot?
-
One really nice looking bow there.
-
Hey Asier, that's a great looking bow, lovely tiller and looks like your getting it back well there. I can't seem to make myself keep my bow arm slightly bent as you do, I always lock it out, which is something I need to work on! Lovely work.
-
Looks like you need no further comments other than to say that you have built a very impressive bow. If you pointed that thing in my direction I would be scurrying for cover.Ronnie

Asier,
that looks like your full draw to me and looks fine! Can you really get another inch out of it without extending your bow arm?
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Asier
That bow has a great tiller mate, I have not had much success with ash, but you sure have made a good job of that on.
You may find that your body frame is not big enough to draw to the full 32, I am the same I can only manage 31" draw lengths with a heavy bow, but hey 31" is still enough to get your arrow moving at speed.
Cheers and well done

I agree with Steve on both points; very nice tiller and I don't think you would want to be drawing any further than that
32" is only a rough standard (like the 28" for target bows), the draw length will be different for each person so don't get hung up on managing to get to 32"
BTW - Cracker: have a look at my guide to making an ash bow (www.alanesq.com), this should help get you started

I would be interested in your training technique, Asier.
Very impressive indeed, and a very sound bow it appears. Let us know how it shoots. :)

Great looking bow. I agree, it looks like a full draw to me. If you pull it back much farther your going to need a longer arrow. ;) Justin

Hey Warbow Fellows!! Thanks alot for all your inputs!! MUCH APRECIATED... :D ;)..
Hellow Mike! I havenīt shoot her yet as I only have been playing arrown a little with it but for sure Iīll report distances etc that this Ash bow is capable to achieve, and a video too..THANKS!
Hi Ian!! Thanks mate for your input!
Hey Et_tu_brute!! I manage just to do the oposite as you try to do...hehehe... I try to lock up my bow arm stright to get a longer draw but at the moment havenīt get it...
What is best, to keep your bow arm completelly stright or slyghtly bent at full draw??
Hi Ronnie!!...hehehehe..Thankyou mate and thanks for your input!!
Hey Sailordad!...I weight some thing more than this bow..hehehe... ;)...but it is just technic, practice a nd a little of patiance...Cheers..
Hi Daniel!...Yes mate, if I get to lower up a bit and roll back my draw arm I think that is possible, that what Iīll hope to do next!!..;)...Cheers...
Hey Steve!!...THANKS ALOT for your valuable input and advice! much apreciated. Cheers...
Hi Alan!..Thank you so much for your support here!...Yes, I know 32" in draw length is only a rough standard but even so Iīll see if I can get it basck an inch or so..:D...THANKS FELLOW!!...

;D can you do push ups in that position?
from what I can make out, if your bow arm is too straight, the string hits your arm or bracer which reduces string speed for the last inch or two of its travel. bent too much and you lose draw length. But I may be wrong ;)

Hey Asier, I think it's better to have a slight bend in your bow arm, the way yours is looks perfect to me, I need to try and do the same thing.
-
If you have the arm to straight, you're elbow will take some punishment when you shoot. I think that was a mistake I made recently cause when I tried to draw my bow yesterday I felt a sharp pain begin at 20" draw, so I put the bow down and I'll rest.
By the way, nice top! :D

Hey fellows!
Thanks alot for your all answers. ;) :D
Hey Mike!
I havenīt tried it yet, to do push up in that position of mine in the video, but with some of practice Iīll hope to so at least a few!!..hehehe...
Thanks to clear me up the thing about the bow arm slightly bent, I does alot of sense what you said mate! :)..THANKS!
