Maple Backed HHB RD

Sweet curves.
I like to see a long draw now and then too.
I'd love to draw that warbow style with a flight arrow and try to watch it go

Nice... has me wanting to get into some of my hhb early.    Dont you find that when the string connects the belly on RD bows it make them kinda loud and shocky?

Sweet as always Mark, did you use billets or was it a one pc stave, I still have your r/d build in the magazine earmarked to build, I'm also a big fan of maple backer's

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks guys.

It didn't make any noise when I shot it and there was no handshock

Billets on this one, it's the best and easiest way to get the deflex.

  I have always wondered how the 31" draw bows would perform in the broadhead classes, on paper they should outperform the 28" draws. Not sure if the extra 3" of arrow might hurt the distance or not. I have been wanting to try them for some time now but always end up stopping when the bow hits the 50#@28 mark. Maybe next year.

 Nice bow, Marc.
 
  Steve,
Dan Perry stated that in talks with Don Brown, Don recommended the extra drawlength.

  I presently hold both the 50# broadhead records for self and simple comp bows. It took me 9 years to get the simple comp record with a boo backed osage reflexed longbow 231 yards this weekend, last year I got 221 yards for a record with the self. both drawn 28'.  Only way I can figure to stretch it out more is to draw it further.

[Marc St Louis]

Thanks Pat.

I would think that for broadheads a longer draw would be better.  What draw length was Jeremiah pulling his bow when he set his record?

[jasonoflivingston]

Very nice bow!  I love seeing a nice bow with a longer draw.  It gives me all sorts of ideas as to what is possible as the skill level rises.  Thanks for sharing.

Sharp looking bow Marc....

Mark, Jerimia had a heavy bow about 100# but he was short drawing about 4" so i would say he drew maybe 24 to 25 max. That record should not be hard to break with a full drawn 75# to 80# bow. I was practicing with him before the shoot started. I was shooting your bow at about 58# and hitting up to 240, he was hitting about 245 with his. I think his winning arrow he may have gotten back further or just got the wind just right. This was 2004.

In my limited experience with warbow shooting, an extra inch of draw length seems to be more important than an extra 15 or 20 lbs of draw weight.  I'm pretty sure you will find the extra energy put into the arrow will more than make up for the extra weight and length of the shaft.

I'm not that familiar with flight shooting rules - is there no upper limit on the draw length?

Sorry to sidetrack your thread Mark.  That is a sweet looking tiller on that bow.
