It just seems to love to bend.
I agree, Pappy ! It LOVES to bend...but it also LOVES to snap back to its original shape...when i floor-tiller yew, i always think, "God, it's gonna snap!" because it can take so much force...but of all my yew bows, only 2 snapped, and they were from a standing dead tree, had serious ring violations, and were quite short.
