Anyone ever done this combo? I'm looking at punching out some low draw (30 lb) or so ELB's.

Never tried that one,but I think if you went 6' long and 2" at the fades(pyramid) you might be able to pull it off,but I be more apt to build cupboard out of it;).

I can also back with white oak, but I was hoping to reserve the straight grained white oak for real shooters.
