Unfortunately, after several months of desk job I can't even draw this to 28" any more.  I can on the tillering tree and it's tillered fine.  >65# 28".

It was a goal to make the heaviest bow I could.  Now what to do with it?  I have others that I can draw.

The arrows are bamboo footed maple.  Uisng up bamboo scrapws from my cores.  I was trying to pitch them then I thought "Hey these pieces would make nice footings".
enjoy.

Everything is ideal.  Even the video is great.  I saw the comment there and I was going to say I think you should consider selling it if its something you won't reduce or something you probably won't use.  Since its so nice I would either give it as a gift or sell it.

You do nice work man, that looks like a really sweet setup.  Start pumping iron so we can see a demo!  >:D

Very nice work, particularly on those arrows.  I am always impressed with higher weight bows.  I have been trying to hit the 65 lb mark and it is not easy.

I know!  I would have never thought!  How in gods name did they make those 100#+ war bows? 

Camaroo,
Pumping iron would be a bad idea for me I just can't figure out when I'd do it.  Right now my most rigorous exercise is the "Jo Lift" that I do 2x a day then pushing a mouse around for 8 hours.
