Hey Guys, As most of you know I love old Bear bows and older longbows.. But I also have a love for Englishwarbow.. This one pulls 80@32.. Now one may ask them self what does one do with a bow like this.. Well I use it when I teach archery classes and also show the kids the steps archery took from warbow to longbows of today.. I just love coming to full draw with this bow and letting the 1/2 round arrow go.. I also plan on hunting with this bow this coming season ( from the ground)
I hope I posted in the rigth form( Since I know TG is about tradbow hunting)
Best,
Cody

Hi James, No this is the bow I used when I shoot an arrow at that guys chainmail.. The Stave I showed you the Yew is what I'm working on ( or did work on today for a few hrs)
QuoteAWESOME Looks like a 2"X2". Cool.
:bigsmyl: :biglaugh:
Nice pics Cody.
Thats an awesome Bow brother, sweet!
Nice! What kind of wood is that one Cody?
Hey Cody, if I ever find myself in a dark alley in Boston, surrounded by a gang of criminal scumbags looking for trouble, I want YOU there for back up! You make pulling that 80# look easy...LOL!!!!
Cooool Stuf Cody!
When I got to the 3rd pic I felt MY shoulder pop!

Beautiful bow, Cody !
It may be my eyes or the picture but the lower limb seems to bend a little more than the upper one.
Very nice bow Cody!
way cool cody!
cody thats a sweet lookin elb. ive been fascinated by these kinds of bows. i have a question for al kidner though, what does shooting inside the bow mean? never heard it before ruddy
WOW
Passion Intensity and Focus. The full draw pic is TOO COOL!
You better just shoot real big deer and hogs or you may knock them into the next county and that would make for a real long drag back to the truck.

Cody, what a powerful, deadly image that drawn English warbow presents. Wonder how many French soldiers in their final thoughts must have been thinking that too.
Cool pics, I understand why you dig them so much.
Thanx Guys for the comments... You guys should see the arrows I started.. The ones I'm working on rigth now are Ash 3/8 shafts, 7" high back turkey feathers with selfnocks ( will post pics once there done...) I also have some 1/2 shafts that are ash 7" feathers and selfnocks.......
Cody
Hey Cody, What kinda wood is that? Did I see that one?
Chuck, It was the bow I was shooting over the lake at the Bear target.. Its the bow Karl made for me.. I'm sure you seen it..
1/2" ash shafts.....hmmm. Sounds more like a retired pool cue. :thumbsup:
I have fond memories of being young and full of p & v. Even shot a 70" Hill that was 82# @ 28".
Sassafrass eh Cody?
How long is the bow?
How far do you draw it?
32" looks like it would be way past your ear.
great looking bow and pics.
that is what i call a bow !
nice one mate !
Yes sir Chuck its the Sassafrass bow :-)...
good gosh man! you ever thought about entering the tuff man compition?
