That is a beauty! Nice work. Cant wait to see the full draw. I also like the unique handwrap arrow pass combo.

Thanks all  :)
The wet and wild shot was pure accident. I didn't push the arrow into the ground far enough and the bow fell off  ;D

Still rough as a badger but will get out and take some FD shots soon as i can.

Went out and put her through boot camp. Stupidly forgot to take pictures of me shooting it. Didnt have much of a go due to a creaking shoulder but here are a few of the boys beating it in for me.

Arrow pass should be a bit lower here.


And a nice snowy one.



Helps having a bear of a mate to shoot in teh heavier stuff for me  ;D
Takes about an inch and a half of set. Top limb has a kink just off the handle. To be honest it could do with coming more compass in the outers but hey its the first elb i have done in years. I will be making more with the two near perfect wych elm staves i have.

Oh and the accurate and scientifically correct armour piercing shot with the new bodkins. Only the tree stopped it. Just for kicks  >:D

Tips are beautiful.  What are they?  They seem to have a red hugh to them.  Maybe it's just the blood, sweet and tears showing through ;)

Bodies were forget by a friend. Hope to get a whole set of Medieval set from him when he is up and running. Will gift him a bow in return so nice craft trade.  :)
