Nice work Pat.  She'll go over 100# if ever taken to 32".  Looking forward to a full draw shot.

Well, I finally found someone to pull my bow. This is Art Butner's son Jason this weekend at the North Carolina Traditional Archery Tournament near Hickory, NC. Not a classic war bow draw or pull but probably near 30".   Pat

What a shameless plug to bring ones own bow to the top.  ;D  She looks great Pat.  I'm glad you found someone to draw it for you.  Did you let loose any arrows from it? Justin

Justin, We couldn't find a 1000gr arrow anywhere. :D You'd think at an archery shoot someone would have a 1000gr arrow. ;)    Thanks , She does have a nice bend.     Pat

Pat, I'm thinking you just cut a small diameter tree and you have a 1000gr arrow.  Justin

Loki, Thanks for the positive comment. I wish there was someone there that could have gotten "into the bow". The guy that I was gonna give the bow to probably could have but he wasn't there. I would have liked seeing her pulled to "full" draw(32") but I am pleased seeing her at 30". It's hard to see the tiller from only the tiller tree. ;)    Pat

Cool bow Pat, you did that wood proud. Too bad you don't have any hay fields for a flight range. All and all beautiful bow and well done.   Kenneth

Kenneth, I wish you had a chance to shoot her and see her in person. As far as I can pull her, I doubt I could shoot an arrow out of my front yard. ;D.  Pat

I kind of know what you mean Pat, the way my arm has been lately I think I could shoot a war bow about as easy as a kids bow. I think it is getting a little better but is taking forever.   Kenneth

That is excellent tiller Pat.  These are not easy bows to build (or pull for that matter).  Tillering those long, long limbs without any flat spots or hinges takes quite a measure of talent.  You nailed it.

Thanks Josh. A lot of contemplation went into building this bow. ??? ::) ;D She is totally different than most of my bows but I thought this particular piece of yew needed to be a special bow. I am totally pleased with her and appreciate the positive comments from everyone.
   She still need to be shot and I need to get the mass weight.      Pat
