Betaine Yew longbow nearly finished!
« on: May 12, 2015, 11:47:11 am »
Hi guys my latest bow has come out as a shooter and I'm very happy with it (in fact I absolutely love it! :))
It's 69" in length and is pulling 45# @ 27". It has an inch or so of set and is slightly twisted along the limbs (especially the upper. But it shoots straight, fast and hard with hardly any handshock. Thanks to Del and everyone else for your support!  :D

Nice bend on your yew bow. Tips look a little stiff but not bad.
