Title: Yew shorty
Post by: bambule on January 04, 2012, 03:36:00 pm

Hi Folks,

this is a short yew bow.
63" long, 1,25" wide to 11/32 Tips with Ebony Overlays.
I got the stave from a friend who tried to chase a ring without success - mostly every ring was touched so I backed the bow with silk.
43#@27"

Thank you all.
I don't know the speed cause I didn't have a chrono but the arrows mostly reaching the target :-)
