@loadedClownZ Ironwood can make some strong bows, but the main problem I see with it is that ironwood bows tend to suffer from string follow, even more commonly then hickory.
@Agincourtwarbow i live in australia and ironwood is common enough here so i think i may give it a try. due to the string follow i will eventually lose some draw weight wont i but for some backyard target practice it should be good?
@loadedClownZ Oh aye go for it mate! Don't get me wrong, Ironwood is good wood and can make a mighty bow! I'll be working on some more Ironwood bows myself once me new staves dry. A friend of mine has a beauty Ironwood warbow, as straight as a board. The skill of the bowyer ofcourse is what it all comes down to. It is just that a stringfollow set is the common weekness of ironwood bows (Canadian anyways!). Best of luck to you mate!
@loadedClownZ Oh by the way, if I were you i'd look up 'Warbows Australia' they're a great group much like the EWBS, keeping the english warbow alive!
cool video, i am 13 and i trying to work up to 80 lbs my self, i am already at 75 lbs. do you know what kind of wood the eastern style recurve was made of ?
@warbowgeeks Well good luck to you mate, the recurve is actualy fiberglass, I shoot a real composite bow in my later videos though. Best wishes to ya.
@thecuddlemoose Hey thanks mate. This bow is an 80lb Ironwood warbow. Unfortunatly he does not sell them he only makes them for people a group I am involved in, sorry.
If You would like to see a Yew English warbow I shoot a 90lber in my newer video. Thanks for your comment mate!
What a great vid of archery. You are a good archer but such a powerful bow in a suburban area would make me flinch. The kid you are shooting with is supercool: a great archer. Well done.
@nicksynnz Thanks mate, we both appreciate that. yes we are shooting in my yard but we take great care and noone will get hurt, In other videos we do go to a farm to shoot.
This looks possibly dangerous - when you're drawing the bow you're aiming up at a 45 degree angle and it looks like a suburban area. If your fingers slipped off the string while drawing at that angle it's anyones guess where it's going to land. Worse case scenario you end up charged with manslaughter.
@Bloodgod40 I have been shooting for a while and I am quite sure I will not release, Im not really straining when im pulling. Here in Canada I make sure what I do in my Videos are legal. Thanks for your concern.
elven arrows eh? i prefer glass.

How many pounds does it pull? It sure is a good looking bow. Very authentic looking. Is it Yew wood? How much does your friend sell them for?
