25 yds this morning.
Bow is ash. 45lb draw. Not bad for an amateur.

My arrows would all be in the grass. Good shooting.
Got pics of the bow?

A black powder club member made it for me.

Nice. I started doing a little reading last week about making a bow . That may be a far as it gets.

Nice shooting, RR, and good luck with the summer camping setup.
A friend shared this video of a bowmaker demonstrating his process from start to finish, which is exceptional. You might like it as much as I did.

Nice shooting RR a long bow is a entire different type of challenge.
