Title: YEW WOOD SAPLING...
Post by: Blacktail on January 04, 2014, 06:06:02 pm

Here is a bow I did a month ago. It is from a Sapling Yew. It is 63 in. ntn, it is 1.5 in. at fade outs, the tips are 1/2 in. and it is 58 lbs at 25 in. It has a cherry bark handle and artificial sinew wrap. This is the first bow that I ever cut a shelf in . I feel that I am surprisingly more accurate with it. So for some people it might not be true primitive but if it makes me more accurate at hunting then I am all for it. Hope you enjoy, John.
