Title: "Little Predator", 65#@26"
Post by: Jonas on January 28, 2016, 11:20:28 am

Hello,
I want to show you my latest Bow - again a naked stick of Yew, I like it simple  ;)

 I was surprised when I saw the drawweight, because the bow was very easy and smooth to draw - it didnt feel like 65lbs, maybe 55 but no more.

The bow is 64 inch long and weights 470g / 16,6oz.

Greetings from Germany
Jonas

 You call it a simple bow Jonas but what I see is great attention to detail in that work, very nice bow.

Nothing quite like a stick of yew. You did that stick justice! That is an elegant bow. Welcome to PA.

Looks great to me.  I like "simplicity" above all, myself.  Your tiller looks great, also.
