Most recent bow wrapped up in time for season. It is an eastern woodlands inspired un-backed elm pulling roughly 55lb @ 28”. It’s a tack driver and extremely quiet.
I made it at 70” to stay true to EW style of bow being about the hight of the archer. Limbs are BEEFY which I understand to be typical of the elm. Part of the reason I went about 10lb over my normal draw, to keep the speed and energy. But it makes it very accurate and forgiving. Pretty pleased with this one but elm is a different animal. I did zero back set so this one took about 3” of set, not hateful. Pretty typical of white wood flat bow with no backing. It’s gonna be a killer.
