Wych elm English longbow
« on: October 18, 2023, 06:02:23 pm »
This wych elm English longbow is 55#@28 - 74” long.  feels like a javelin and shoots super smooth. This bow was originally  designed as a  100# warbow  and had got it to brace height about 10 years ago. I scraped a lot of wood to get it down to 55# just wanted a bow I can comfortably shoot target with and it’s been way too long since I’ve pull 100# haha! Love working with elm such a great simple bow wood.

Love it. Clean and simple. I’m working on a 74 inch hackberry at the moment and hoping it turns out to be a sweet shooter, so your post is good medicine!

That's about as lovely and graceful as they come. Well done.

Great looking tiller and work on that piece. horn nocks like that are not my style but sure like seeing them on classy bows like this. well done.
