That's a nice yew stick for sure.

But are you sure your drawing 28"? Seems shorter from the picture.

Thanks for the compliments guys, really made this noobs day!
Bryce- good eye! i only draw 26", but tillered to 60# at 28", for one of my long arm shootin buddies. its 57# at my draw length.
           I usually bring my bows to 27" for peace of mind, you think bringing it to 28" would affect speed?
           Either way, 162 fps through the chrony got me very excited. first time breakin 160 :)
dwardo - 1"wide handle, 2.5"long fades to 1 1/4" at the widest. starts tapering to 3/8" at the nocks. not sure how to measure degree of recurve.
              rounded belly, I maintained the 5/8 rule, just because I really like the look of it on yew.

wally - as soon as I knew what laburnum was a cut some billets and they are seasoning now. Laburnum grows everywhere in Vancouver,
           even wild on the side of highways. When the flower next time, I'll be ready.
Del the Cat - big fan of your bows, and have probably looked at every pic on your site. thank you!

"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
