They are cute lol. Can you imagine a shot of a little lad at full draw with a load of blokes drawing warbows behind.
Great stuff, gotta make my boy a little yew bow when he is old enough.

Cheers guys,
It's a bit too small for real use, it's about 1/2 scale, which makes it a bit too easy to sit on and break.
It begs the question what should be the scale draw weight on a 1/2 scale bow? I'm guessing at 1/8th.
That nock is only half the length but it's v fiddly to work on as it's onlt 1/8th the volume of a full sized one.
Mind you should have seen the tiny Waterbuffalo it came off :o.
I'll post the full thing including full draw with a scale arrow when it's all done.

A guy in the US sent me some Oregon Yew billets, this is made from an off-cut of one and will be sent to him as a thank you gift.
