stickbender - I did weigh the sinew bundles back when I sinewed the bow, I believe around 3 oz.
Tree ninja - I havent been to Winter Harbour area yet, one day! Been to Cape Scott though, so cool and creepy up northern island.
DC - 36 bows altogether, although I only number the ones that cut the mustard and make it to finishing stages. '
Bow101 - I shoot 100-200 arrows through my bows before I send them off. I also begin shooting in my bows when they are not yet at full draw, the bow can tell you alot at that stage. If you are getting excessive set / string follow, its either wood related, or design and execution related.
If your asking about this bow in particular, it has shot well over a few hundred arrows, before these pictures were taken. Sinew backed yew has its reputation for a reason
Hope to see you BC boys at the gathering in Sept
