My second bow
« on: August 08, 2016, 10:04:05 am »
Yew, 50 pounds @ 28 inches, 70 inches nock to nock or thereabout (slightly less). it's got a quite a bit of a snaky character, the limbs form an "S" when viewed from the front/back. It's not particularly pretty but I'm quite happy with the tiller and the way it shoots. Unlike my first bow this one is actually a pleasure to shoot.

Here it is at full draw with a nice circle - so that it confuses anyone wishing to judge the tiller ;)

Very nice tiller.
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Looks very nice! I guess it being a pleasure to shoot is the most important..
