Title: Yew Shorty 65#@24"
Post by: Tree_Ninja on July 27, 2016, 08:26:13 am

Hello,


  Here is a yew shorty I had finished a while ago and have been shooting occasionally.

  Its pacific yew. 52" ntn just under an 1.5" at the widest. Cow hoof chew toy nocks, brain tan deer wrap handle and 5 coats of tung oil.

  It was originally 72#@24" but was too tough to shoot for me at that draw weight. (My natural draw is 28"). Gave me a few welts before I lowered the weight and learned how to shoot it well.

It'd be good for a canoe hunt. This is my first time using photobucket so hopefully it works

Looks like it will sling an arrow real nicely. Good work.

Good one! Nice and short, could be good for a ground blind too.

Turned out well,  not for this cowboy my 60" bow starts to stack at my 28" draw and not to mention some finger pinch,  >:D   64" is about right for me.

Thanks guys,

  Carson, it felt like a warbow when it was at 72#. Gotta wear the finger gloves at that weight.

 Bow101, the short draw is tough, even just body mechanics its harder for me draw high weight at short draw lengths.
