Women, Longbows, & Wooden Arrows Just Rock....
« on: March 02, 2013, 08:35:07 pm »
Today after finishing up some Sitka Spruce arrows for my wife's new Osage/ERC/Boo Longbow I made her, she did some shooting in the basement. Her shooting form is very good, her other form is pretty good too.. ;) This bow is so quiet and really zips an arrow for 30 pounds @ 25 inch draw. It's just great having a wife that likes to join in with me doing what I love to do. I'm one lucky Man..........

Her form looks pretty good Roy. I see that you taught her your yankee 3 under style. ;D ;D   Like some of the other guys said, my wife just kinda tolerates me and my bows.

Agreed, they do rock!  Here's my wife with a longbow and wooden arrows:



Bow is red oak, heat treated, 30# @ 25".  Was 30# @ 28" prior to heat treating, and had 2" of set, now down to 1/2" set.
