A shelf?!?! What are you going to keep on that shelf?! And why do you need a shelf?! A proper bow doesn't have pins or shelves at all!

When I had the bow built back in 2000 I could have gone with the "War Bow " which has no shelf...just shoot it off your hand....I wasn't ready for that....LOL

So what are we looking at nessmuck? A Yew Longbow? It looks like it's well-crafted.
I have very similar arrows, BTW. Would almost put money on them being made by same person.

You are correct ..a Yew Longbow ..made by Gerald Welch Longbows in AK. I believe the arrows came from a company in Colorado....I think . Originally Posted by Leatherstockiings

I do hunt not that it should make much difference but I shoot a Matthews DXT wit a 29in draw, 70lb pull, and shoot a Easton FMJ at 277 fps. My other bow is a 55lb Black Widow take down recurve. A lot more challenging to shoot then the Matthews and just as much fun
