Yew Flatbow - Double Hollow Limb - 62#@28"

I finally got to put a tag on an Elk. This is the bow that whispered this little three point bull in. I set out at the beginning of the year to make myself a wide limb, stout yew bow for the fall Elk hunt. It is 63" nock to nock. I wanted a bow that really stacked at the back end but without any set caused by drawing into the stack a bit. I started with a pair of wide billets and this is the bow that eventually emerged. I worked on the bow here and there through the year and was shooting it at our local summer bow shoots. It is still not properly finished with a handle wrap. Just a simple piece of calf skin for a strike plate. Mammoth Ivory overlays. The double hollow limb idea just came about when I decided to do a hollow limb, but then had so much width to hollow out and no gouges that wide.
I shot the Bull elk front on at 20 yards. It was the fourth and last broadhead arrow in my quiver. He jumped the string on the first three shots, and managed to wheel out of the way of the arrow the first, second...and third arrows, but the fourth time he came into my cow calls, he came a step further and gave me a front on shot. This time he froze and the arrow hit its mark. He went 40 yards and piled up.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Congrats Carson. That downed bull elk is a beautiful sight, what a rush that must have been for you. Awfully cool looking bow too, never seen one hollowed out in that manner, it sure did do a number on that elk.

First class bow and steaks. your treatment of the belly is remniscient of some Native American bow pics I have seen.
do you feel that the "keel" on the belly contributes to performance?
