Got back from my daily constitutional and found this at the front door.
For those not familiar with the Howard Hill Redman, instead of the usual bamboo laminations, this model uses yew.
I opted for the traditional tip wedges instead of overlays, dark shedua riser and moosehide handle wrap. It's 68" and 40# @ 28".
Of course, it spits arrows out with authority and barely there hand shock and vibration.
Looks fantastic! Congrats!
Nice lookin bow. I like Yew especially after it ages some.
Have fun with your new stick!

Nice one !
It looks beautiful! Is the riser shedua wood?
Okay, I see it is shedua. I really like the grain pattern in the riser.
I really like yew! That is a handsome bow. Congratulations.
Enjoy that classic Ira.

yes my tastes for sure
Gorgeous bow.
Ira, Do you shoot at home or the range?
Right now I'm shooting in the garage. From the entry way to the garage door is a little over 8 yards. There is a range a few miles from home in a city owned park, which is open, but since it's not practical to shoot with a mask on, the garage will do for now. At my age I wear a mask as much as possible.
I have an old Dead Stop 2000 target that has been rebuilt numerous times and still going strong. I use a couple of slabs of chip board for a backstop.
Our club is at a city park also. The club members maintain the club and pay for the targets. It’s 150.00 for the year.
Yew is in my opinion the prettiest of limb woods, also Yew is smooth and fast, what’s not to like. Nice Redman
Nice bow ! I believe that yew is an equal to bamboo and much better looking as was mentioned above.
