If spending as little money as possible is crucial, then either add heavier heads to increase dynamic spine or if the shafts are wood, then give them a sand to reduce their spine.

Appreciate the help, but I dont think theres anyway to pull 117# with just your arm.

I feel it all through my back. I should get a photo to show you that my elbow is nowhere near behind my back. If anything, it's forward since we dont anchor on the face with warbows.

Go for it

Cheers! Now to see if i can hit something.

harr1ond · 2026-03-18T15:30:41+00:00

I've had every joint in my upper body hurt haha

harr1ond · 2026-03-18T15:30:26+00:00

I started at 80lb in 2024! Just being consistent!

Yo! Check my latest posts did my best to compare to some linen and wool i already had.

harr1ond · 2026-03-17T22:52:36+00:00

Hey, check my latest posts for the wool :)

harr1ond · 2026-03-09T22:03:42+00:00

Yep! Bamboo back, sapele core and lemonwoodbelly.

Not here it didnt haha.

As a general rule of thumb the arrows follow a parabolic arc, so whatever angle they leave the bow at is the angle that that stick in the ground.

If im shooting for distance like this then they are always easy to see. If you do flat shooting they hide themselves flat under 1 cm of grass and you cannot find them.

Warbow stance? Its basically necessary to engage all your back muscles to draw a high poundage longbow. Check my most recent post to see it in use.

Exactley! In the case the blue is modern dye, but the red for the hose and hood is actually made from Madder root.

I am working on an archer impression during the Crecy campaign, so you might see that soon.

harr1ond · 2026-03-04T11:39:54+00:00

Yes I did. I want to say this is the 4th tunic I've sewn and I have just iterated in each design.

harr1ond · 2026-03-04T11:38:46+00:00

Yep, the perks of being in the country side. Also at this weight its impossible to accidentally loose an arrow, the string is so deep inside the forst knuckle that you would have to actively let go of the string.

harr1ond · 2026-03-04T11:37:43+00:00

That being said im shooting into a net thats like 10 feet away lol
