A 56# at 27" bow consistently shooting 186/7 with a 450 grain arrow....nah. Here's the bow I'm talking about.







  That works out to about 173 which is excellent and what can be expected from a bow with the profile you have there.

Who cares if they are over built if it shoots an arrow and lasts decades and hundreds of thousands of shots it really doesn't matter. I prefer an over built bow to an underbuilt bow
I like osage

this is hilarious.  we should really keep this discussion going until Ryoon graduates.  :laugh:

I think I will give Poplar a try.   Just curious If I can actually make a bow out of it.
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Just build bows. Use bow woods to which you have ready access. A properly designed and crafted bow will last a lifetime. Jawge

Hope to see him soon !
