H Bow Update

 I've done plenty of fiddling and fettling to get the H bow shooting but there is still plenty of tuning to do.

I went up the club and the first test shot was dissapointing, I hadn't seen the arrow go, so assumed it had gone a prodigious distance! I was searching around at over 300 yards, until one of the guys spotted it it at 165! To be fair it was into a strong head wind and just a short draw. Two further shots went 170 and 190, but bear in mind that was only 15 1/5" draw where the theoretical max is 19".
The string also needs improving and some decent light flight arrows made. I think I should get 250 comfortably and hopefully further.
The pic (at full draw) shows how the bow isn't bending very hard yet.
The videos on my Youtube chanel (Del Cat) document the development.
Enough chat, here are some pics.
