branch
« on: May 21, 2018, 09:10:32 am »
After stupidly destroying my beloved project x I needed a recreational stave to calm down. A little branch - my first yew. It's 40" and simk jr is still struggling a bit - will have to adjust the draw weight carefully a bit  i think.
Cheers

that's a very nice bow
maybe a little thinning in the handle where arrow pass and a shorter arrows would make things easear for simk jr

thanx for compliments - del, at least he is aware of the fact, that his bow is of yew while mine is not  ;D - glisglis, what are good arrows for children? don't have just  normal shortend wood arrows have a too high spine? I need light short arrows with good spine for that little fast bow (that has maybe 20 to 25 pounds @ 20 and approximately 18 @ 16 which he draws - i didnt measure because the batteries of my tool are low). EDIT: and yes, glisglis, the handle isn't finished probably; he told me wants a bow without arrow pass like dad...we maybe have to talk about it again. cheers

No arrow rest could be ok
I was suggesting a narrower handle to deal with spine issues (more centershot)

Looks great, nice tiller!  Your son looks like he has a fine place and way of growing up.

Yew-ie like that one a lot. That is a very cool first kids bow and should last for smik jr's. Kids. Nice job and like Don said A+ on the tiller.

Wonderful. A lucky kid indeed.
Make sure you keep building bows for him as he grows, otherwise he or his friends will overdraw it. It would be a shame to lose such a lovely piece of your family's history.

Thanx again guys! I will not stop building bows - it's just too creative and fullfilling! But now it's my turn - it's about time for dad himself to shoot a nice little yew. Cheers and thanx all you forum members for sharing that great stuff about our passion!
