My new Boo yew
« on: February 29, 2016, 03:33:51 pm »
I thought I'd better sneak this in before the Invitational guys start showing their stuff. ;D ;D  It's 63"NTN, 45#@27". Weighs 15.5 oz. Bamboo backed yew billets. Brazilion Walnut tips and arrow pass. I steamed the tips and then tried a little Perry reflex when I glued the back on. I tried it through the Chrony and got a best of 172 FPS. Most were 166-169. I thought I had a little more deflex but the Perry reflex pulled a lot of it out. The full draw picture looks a little wonky to me but it looks better for real. I had it canted away from the camera. maybe that's it. It's the heaviest bow I've shot but it seems relatively easy to draw. I like it, that's the most important thing to me.

Del- This is my second booyoo, I like it. It's a great way to use up left over heartwood.

PD- Thanks, I forgot to mention it was with a 435 gr arrow

Joducus- Thank you, elegant is good :D

US- Thanks, Because it's a layer so I could count the rings it's the only one of my trees I have an accurate age for, 274 years

Steve- Thanks

Jon- see my comments to Del. I'm sure you would like it.
