Thanks, it shouldn't take too long to reach a full draw, i had to use a stringer to brace this one. On the short recurves, I use the step through method, i know some people use the push pull method on longbows but not personally seen anyone push pull string anything over 120lb
Thanks zed, I want to do a test based on some of Roger Aseham toxophilus book, he writes about shooting overhand and underhand, referring to the target appearing above or below the bow hand, he mentioned stronger archers(reffering to archers using a high poundage bows) will shoot overhand and weaker archer will need to shoot underhand, some of the historical shooting ranges with butts either end were only about 100 yards so I want to test what draw weight will it take to shoot underhand out to 100 yards with medival arrows from 880grain, 1000grain 1250grain and 1750grain arrows
Thanks, I got it second-hand but It was made by fairbow they do a few models of bows. Last time i checked, fairbow regularly stocks 100lb+ yew longbows, but if you contact them, they will do custom draw weights, I believe joe gibbs got a 190lb wood glass laminate american flatbow made by them
I've been out for a bit. Good to see you ol'boy
Alright karl , I hope you had a good Christmas and new year
Much respect to you for even attempting to draw it back and I cant imagine how you even strung that bow haha 🏹
