A Traditional Archer's Point of View

Red Oak bow: This bow now has 1-1/2” of reflex…and a draw weight over 60# at 26” again. I am looking to bring the draw in at 55# at 28” with a straight standing bow. I don’t mind a little string follow, but I’d rather heat the belly and finish up with a straight bow.

Sis was a saint and put up with us in the 98 degree heat even though she isnt as fit as I would like

Just about to loose an arrow towards the target. This was from a video capture of the right stance position and playing around with dropping but not touching the ground with my knee but being able to move,, balance and focus for the aim of the shot. . . . . #archery #archeryaction #archeryfun #archerylife #archerypractice #bowandarrow #dropdown #practicebalance #instinctivearchery #traditionalarchery #longbow #movementarchery #ontheright #practicearchery #targetpractice #warrior #warriorwoman #womanarcher

I’m still at the field, just without my recurve - instead I’m attempting to make a laminate longbow. It’s going to be 66" long, ~28# @28" for @georginacutts and finished with a mother-of-pearl inlay and a leather and silver wire grip. If I’m to craft anything, it has to be at least a little bit fancy! • • • #archery #traditional #traditionalarchery #longbow #englishlongbow #stickbow #crafting #woodwork #learningsomethingnew

I am proud to be an American!
