ELB.....Bamboo backed Yew

#1 Post by mikaluger » Sun Jul 03, 2016 8:41 pm

Hi Guy's,
I hope you are all well. I have been a bit of a forum recluse over the last 12 months............
Here is one of two ELB's I have been working on at the moment, Bamboo backed Yew heartwood with a spotty core, 45 @ 28, 75"NtN. Love this recipe. Great shooter, pleasure to shoot............

:Bow .... Nice looking job, congratulations.
I do like the look of the second picture at full draw, along with the one that has caught the arrow in flight.
Thanks.
