Not sure if this is in the right place, but it is a self yew prod.  ;) Admins/Mods please feel free to move if necessary.

Sorry the vid is a bit long... I made it for the guy that helped me build the stock.

If that was me with that setup, I would so end up shooting a car, like my first shot.  ;D Very cool X bow, that is definitely on my list, but for the life of me I can't figure out the nut. Very slick though.

Very sweet! I wanted to make one but everyone was saying you needed a horn belly, well backed prod and I have no horn. Its happening now though, making one for sure!

I have another rawhide backed yew self prod roughed out, and I'd like to try and get 80-100#s out of it. I think it's possible.
