Some You Win, Some You Loose

Took the two repaired bows out to where we shoot near Chelmsford.
The bamboo repair failed, starting to lift with a bit of a cracking sound as my mate JT neared full draw... never mind, I'll take the back off and re-back it.

The re-repaired yew faired better, I'd left a little extra thickness on the new patch and it looked fine at full draw, it's good to keep the old work horse going.
It was very hot over there and my bow seemed to have relaxed a fair bit in the heat. I'd made up a flight arrow from one of my early ones with the front end tapered a lot more and a lighter brass point from a broken flight arrow fitted, and that flew nicely a good 30 yards or so further than the other arrows.
