My First Selfie

[Wolftrail]

Yew longbow. 66" NTN 41#. Shoots great. Tips are iron wood. It is naturally reflexed about 1 1/4" and I left it that way. No steam. Took about 1/2" of set.

I wish my first bow looked so good, my first was so poorly made it blew after 30 shots, even with a sinew backing.

Thnx for the kind words guys. Eric I have been building wood bows for about 5 years. I guess my experience is paying off.
I have 8 survivors and at least 10 failures.

Having said that I would of never pulled off a decent Self Bow from the beginning, no way no how.

Eric,

In all fairness something tells me you did not have this site or any other source to really go to but books. This and the few other sites make the chances of a good bow a lot higher.

Nice bow Wolftrail.
