Excellent work.

Craig.

Very good tiller on that one!

-And impressive thing to be pulling your own body weight. If I did that I'd get close to 230#, so I guess I'm not even... You, Eirik, and I'd guess Joe. Anyone else pulling their own body weight?

I pull 175 lbs, and weigh 160

Whoa! Nice -You're over by a good margin

Hi Celtic archer you'll have to post a picture of the bow I would love to see one of Richard Heads warbows, they don't come up often

[peasant1381]

Likewise, I thought Richard only made Victorian target bows, I'm gagging to see one of his warbows.

Beautiful tiller.

Perfect tiller on that bow. Wery nice work congrats!

Schould we see some more pics and more specs? Did U heat treat the belly lam before glue up?

[adb]

Yes, indeed, very nice tiller. How did you determine the final draw weight? Is it actual, tillered with a scale, or are you estimating?

[Ian.]

Thanks,  I will try to get a few better pictures up, I didn't do anything special to the woods prior to the glue up next time I may well do, the weight is measured on a scales so its fairly accurate.

Hey Ian. How did the bow perform at Batsford this weekend?

[Ian.]

Hi Dag Not that great, I ended up only putting a 1/4 pounder off it as the weather wast that good I wasn't expecting much ending up falling short of the EWBS record by I think 7 yards, when the weather clears I will put a standard off it,

I am working on heavy lam V1.2 

[Dag]

Ahh, well still and impressive bow nonetheless.  Lookin' forward to V1.2!

Hi All

Nice bow Ian.

I have two bows that Ian made for me a 80lb training bow and 110lb warbow. they are very nice bows.
I can shoot the warbow at full draw now but it has taken some time.

Regards
Rum

[Ian.]

Thanks Tony,

If I see you at a shoot your are welcome to try it.

What are the materials and the brace height?
