This is my first successful bow of the year, 50# @28"
(an earlier Wych Elm primitive exploded after about a dozen shots! I shall be doing a "repair" and destruction test later, just to see how well linen binding supports a break).
The Yew was local to me, it had been felled by the council following some storm damage, and just left to rot.
The bow has some nice character is 66" from nock to nock, and the limbs are 2" wide at their widest.
