I think you're right about getting another inch out of it. I shot a 50" sinew backed osage bow with a stiff handle that pulled 50@27". It was a great hunting bow until I let it go. It's amazing how little wood it actually takes...

Really appreciate that.
It’s funny how some names just come to you. Totally unrelated, yet so much the same.
Thought maybe a few of you guys across the pond might enjoy it

I love your short bows. Top notch stuff. Very inspirational.

Looking at the profiles it looks like I could maybe get another inch out of the outer limbs?

Bows / Re: American Elm v. Slippery Elm.

I don't think any elm is a great candidate for an English long bow.
