Here is drawn by hand at 30-31" in lenght so I need some time untill this Ash Warbow is Fully draw and, the most important thing, CONTROLLED!!..:D...

By the moment this is the stage where I am right now!!



All contructive comments are very well come...

Hey Asier, that's a great looking bow, lovely tiller and looks like your getting it back well there. I can't seem to make myself keep my bow arm slightly bent as you do, I always lock it out, which is something I need to work on! Lovely work.

Looks like you need no further comments other than to say that you have built a very impressive bow. If you pointed that thing in my direction I would be scurrying for cover.Ronnie

Asier,

that looks like your full draw to me and looks fine! Can you really get another inch out of it without extending your bow arm?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi Asier

That bow has a great tiller mate, I have not had much success with ash, but you sure have made a good job of that on.
You may find that your body frame is not big enough to draw to the full 32, I am the same I can only manage 31" draw lengths with a heavy bow, but hey 31" is still enough to get your arrow moving at speed.

Cheers and well done

Steve

I agree with Steve on both points; very nice tiller and I don't think you would want to be drawing any further than that

32" is only a rough standard (like the 28" for target bows), the draw length will be different for each person so don't get hung up on managing to get to 32"

BTW - Cracker: have a look at my guide to making an ash bow (www.alanesq.com), this should help get you started

I would be interested in your training technique, Asier.

Very impressive indeed, and a very sound bow it appears.  Let us know how it shoots. :)

Great looking bow.  I agree, it looks like a full draw to me.  If you pull it back much farther your going to need a longer arrow.  ;) Justin
