Restoring a classic - 1930s Ben Pearson Longbow

[SwampRabbit]

In fact, I would draw from a lower brace initially... like 6-7"

Maybe video the first full draw. You never know, it might make some money on Americas Funniest Videos. I'm hoping that everything works out o.k. I know that feeling of going to full draw on a bow nearly as old as I am and not knowing if there will be blood drawn before the arrow goes anywhere. I have several scars from a compound that let go on me. The good thing was that it was over almost before it started. All but the healing part, anyway.
