Ignore the ring count...
Most Yew I've seen shows huge variation even in a one inch section.
What difference does counting 'em make? You can't adjust them
As they say up North "You don't fatten a pig by weighing it"
I've made good bows from high and low ring count Yew.

OK,Man I was thinking I need to be careful around you,stout young man,

I would be lucky to get it to 25 inches and then would probably pull something.

Wow, that's really good looking bend on that baby. What drawlength are you aiming for?
71" seems a tad tight on length if you are going for the full 31-32" medieval draw.
