[fishfinder401]

just out of curiosity, who here can build a 100+ bow, any style

Noel, that is not the way this trade works. All names go in a hat and a reciepient is choses for you. No one knows who makes what for whom . 
  I made a yew war bow a few years ago, 95#@30". Too heavy for me to shoot so I gave it away.

i wasn't trying to choose someone i know thats not how it works, i was just curious about who could, as i want  to start more in that strength of bows and didn't want to waste a new topic on it

If I get someones name that wants a 100# bow, I can promise you that it won't be shot in

if they build it i will shoot it, or at least attempt to, hurt my self, recover, and repeat until i can
bythe way if you get someone wanting a 100lb bow, its probably me

Plenty of guys on the "War Bow" thread that love the heavy bows. Have you been over there to check them out?

i have, it just dosen't seem to get the same amount of traffic as this thread does, thus less responses, i really cant wait to repair the tips of my 100+ osage bow, measure it on my scale then start shoting it with the arrows im makeing( good thing next week is a vacation )

i know, making and using heavy bows arent for everyone, have you considered useing a come along, or tying it to a car to tiller , althoug you have to worry about ripping aff the back half of cars doing that

[sailordad]

the car idea is a good one
however its a little tuff getting down the basement stairs and making that hard left into my work area 
not to mention no room to pull forward to draw the bow on the tiller tree

[osage outlaw]

Maybe we could make two 50# bows and duct tape them together.

[deerhunter97370]

I'd like to join. Right handed, 50+pounds, 26" draw, I'm willing to ship out of country.
