English Warbow / Re: Production rates?
« Last post by Mannion on December 04, 2025, 04:14:05 am »Quick question, anyone have any idea how many bows a medieval (for arguments sake let’s say 15th century) bowyer would be required to produce block blast? Would be nice to know.
Are you trying to calculate yield for a particular historical scenario?

« Last post by Selfbowman on December 03, 2025, 11:41:04 pm »The bow is still about 90# so I’m going to try something. I’m going to trap the belly . I dividedthe limb width by 3 leaving the center flat and will scribe the edges to a 1/4” from the back. Why because I will completely lose a growth ring on one end . want to keep three growth rings if possible. Anyone done this with BL
