ELB dimensions in yew?
« on: August 23, 2023, 10:15:16 am »
Ok, so I am not blessed with height, at 5’6 and I only draw 24” on a bend thru handle design.  I have a 8’ length of yew I’ve been saving and I think I’d like to build an ELB .  With my height and draw a 6’ long bow might be overkill, what sort length would get the best from the wood? Was thinking of maybe 66’ or 68’ might be better?

66" to 68" would probably be right for your height and draw length.
