a 100% useless bow

[simk]

Hello 

I made a completly useless bow. Ok, it was fun and it maybe also helps with the bucket list: 69,5ntn - 103# @ 33" Also I now know I have good yew and very good epoxy 

the real fulldraw can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wrobmXntxeE

Cheers

Not useless yet! Need to draw it back further!

I can give you my adress where to send it… I think it would not be useless for me… I do normally shoot 80-85 lbs@28” and this bow is quite close to that… ;-)

I would pop a stitch trying to draw that thing. War bows make my back hurt just looking at em. Nice job

Tiller it to between 35 and 40 lbs, and I will take it off your hands.

Nice bow, a few months of training and you'll be on top of it.

Excellent job. That's a really nice bow.

That's amazing. I think you should get it in the hands of someone who could use it, and you can scratch me off the list.

Nice work, tiller looks great in the video. You seem to have got the most out of that stave, yet low very low set.

And no I couldn't draw it to full length either, still a very cool bow regardless.

That’s a nice war bow.  I’d suffer through to work up the strength to shoot this bow.  Beauty

Beautiful bend on that yew stick and nice work on those nocks too.I'm afraid I'd hurt myself pulling that to 33".
That would kill the horse the knight was riding for sure.
What's the diameter and type of your arrow shaft?
I pulled a bodkin point out of an elm tree once for a fella from a war bow over 100#'s and it took a little persausion.I forget the grains the arrow weighed but the shaft was close to 7/16" in diameter.
