Hi everyone
Crappy weather has forced my buddy and myself to make a indoor range in a very large outbuilding. We can shoot up to 25 meters..BUT.. the ceiling is really low.
Ive already knocked the top nock off my warbow forgetting to turn the bow obliquely enough.
So I want to make a couple of flatbows for us. 50-60lb in draw weight.
I still want a decent drawlength of 28 inches, but how short can you go without risking breakage. ( dont want to waste wood)
My widest bit of ash is just over 2 inches wide, so cant make a pyramid bow unless I get more wood.
over to you all
