Wonky Warbow Video
I've had it back to 32" draw at 100#.
The tips have been lightly reflexed using a hot air gun.
Here's the youtube video:- the bow has a fiar bit of lateral waggle too, you'll see I've done the horn nocks, just got to make a decent string now.
What do you expect that will shoot like Derek? Can it be ok even that shape? You have done this before haven't you? I've never seen anything like that. Great stuff
I expect it will shoot pretty much like any other 100# Yew Warbow, but if I'm being optimistic I hope it may heve a good cast for 100# but only time will tell. Maybe it will be a good flight warbow, but on the other hand it may just be a bit of a novelty character warbow. I've made reflex/deflex bows before which have generally been good performers. I'll have to wait for my mate JT to shoot it.
I've posted hundreds of videos on my Youtbe Channel "Del Cat" .
