Something special about a little deflex in a yew bow. Shoot all day and still hit your mark!  Smooth design and full draw is what a bow is supposed to look like. Your gettin pretty good at this Chris!  Great job.
Excellence is a state of mind.  Whether you think you can or can't...you're right!

I am working on a yew bow that has deflex similar to yours. I am wondering how you bent it? Steam?

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I really appreciate it.

WB99, steam was used for the statics.

I shot the bow a bit more yesterday before the storms rolled in. Yew is the most deceiving wood Ive used. It  doesn't feel powerful when you draw the bow, but boy does that arrow come off when you let the string go!
