Title: A different kind of yumi
Post by: hammertime on September 09, 2012, 03:04:05 pm
Always wanted to try one of these style of bows-was fresh out of bamboo-but had a thin slice of HHB laying around that would do.This bow is 6' long 1 1/4 wide 54#@28" of draw.Do not know if i got the tiller right but she sure is smooth to pull and a whole lots of fun to shoot-might even take her huntin this year if i can cut a whole in the top of my huntin blind.Thanks for looking-Hammertime(http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd464/jeffreyakolste/th_Jan-Sept2012001.jpg)

Very interesting bow.  My ground blind has a zipper hole in the top.  Would be perfect for that.

Howdy,  Well, it's not really a yumi, but it looks cool.  Nice bow.    Ron

Asymmetry again.
I love it.

I wouldn't say it's a yumi, it's just got asymmetrical tiller.
What with that carbon arra?
