That elm tree came off a bluff sitting on top of a gray limestone. Not a place you would normally find one. Surrounded by HHB.
Made limbs 1 5/8th way out then just narrowed tips. Had early string weight and felt about the same out to Gils full 28+ draw.
Fact that you need a bunch limb mass to keep That kind of weight.
Gil can shoot very heavy bows rather routinely. This bow was flipped a tad if i remember right it was pulling about 2.5lbs last inch or two.
