Yew English Longbow (Wall Hanger, don't vote for BOY :) )

[Weylin]

It's been a while since I've shared a bow here. I moved out to the country and then focused on the hunting season but now I'm back to making bows. This is an English longbow I made from a nice piece of fine grained Pacific yew. It is 74" ntn and 56#@28". The horn nocks are from a bison. The handle wrap and the arrow rest were at the request of the gentleman receiving the bow otherwise I might have gone for a more bare and classic look though I like the way it came together.  As it is, the bow is a bit of an English/American fusion. It is stiff through the handle which helps justify the length. It is very smooth to draw and shoots surprisingly quick for it's design.

Very lovely Amigo! How does she shoot?

[Weylin]

Thanks, Bryce. Smooth and quick. I might just have to make myself one of these bad boys some day. Though it's a little long for hunting, I'd say.

I think it came out nice. I like the way it looks.

[Bryce]

The one I use for hunting is 70 ntn and it works just fine on the other side of the cascades though. Around here a shorter bow does seem more adequate, but who knows those old timers used full length yew bows. You hunting second season?

[Weylin]

Thanks, Joe. 

Bryce, I am hunting the late season. There's a big 4-5 pointer on the land where I live but I haven't managed to cross paths with him yet.
