I was trying to sell this, but seeing as I will probably only use the cash to get an airgun, I thought a swap might be a good idea, I am looking for something along the lines of a weihrauch or an air ams or maybe a gas ram theoben,, hey... whatever you got try me .
here are a few pics, but it is real hard to take decent pics of what is after all a stick !!! albeit a very expensive stick
If I dont reply to pm`s immediately dont worry I certainly will do its just I am not always near a computer on a daily basis.

MADE BY WELL RESPECTED ENGLISH BOWYER NICK TOY FOR ME AROUND JULY THIS YEAR
SPECIFICATIONS
IPE AND HICKORY
IT PULLS 64 lbs AT 28 INCHES AND WILL GO TO 70lb AT 30 INCHES
IT IS 76 INCHES LONG AND THE STRING HEIGHT IS 61/2 INCHES
IT HAS A BONE ARROW PASS FOR A RIGHT HANDED ARCHER AND HORN NOCKS
YOU CAN ALSO HAVE MY STRING KEEPER AND A PARACORD STRINGER.
PERFORMANCE
I HAVE ALWAYS SHOT MY OWN ARROWS AND IT HAPPILY SENDS 11/32 OR 3/8 ARROWS OVER 200 YARDS WITH REGULARITY,
I DARE SAY IT MAY EVEN EXCEED THIS IF YOU HAVE TIME TO MATCH THE ARROWS PRECISELY TO IT.
IT IS SMOOTH AND PROGRESSIVE TO PULL AND DOES NOT STACK.
IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND TILLERED TO BE A FULL COMPASS BOW A LA MARY ROSE WARBOWS INDEED IT IS BEST TO THINK OF THIS AS A LIGHTWEIGHT WARBOW
AND AS SUCH WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION TO SOMEONE WANTING TO STEP UP TO A WARBOW BUT WANTING SOMETHING LESS CHALLENGING THAN A 100lb PLUS EWB
ABOUT THE BOWYER
EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW
The design is all Nick, the bow looks flatter than most bows but still conforms to the accepted definition that the bows depth should be 5/8 of it's width, it's still D shaped in a squashy way - it seems that most organisations have their own definitions and happily this bow gets a clean bill of health as regards them - I mention this as Nick is somewhat unorthodox in his design and I suspect slightly contrary ( it takes one to know one !). I completely understand where Nick is coming from as I am like this with arrows, my arrows are plain... you can't see the work that has gone into them until you shoot them... so it is with Nicks' bows there is no flashy gold braid or fancy stitched handle, no gleaming mother of pearl or super polished bits it looks nice enough but it gets your respect when you shoot it.
Normally I do a little speed test but Longbows are different to other bows, they are hard enough to shoot well so the speed issue isn't critical, more important will be smoothness and handshock, English Longbows were not designed to be shockless so it is with surprise that I find this bow shooting with less shock than I would expect from a medium heavy bow, I guess it has something to do with the distribution of weight through the bow and the way the limbs work... I say I am guessing because unlike Nick I don't have 20 years bowyer experience behind me and in the end it's the bowyers experience you are paying for.
DELIVERY
THIS HAS TO GO VIA COURIER AND THE ONLY ONES WHO WILL TAKE IT TELL ME THEY WILL NOT INSURE IT !!! BUT HEY.. IT GOT HERE EASILY ENOUGH AND I WILL PACK IT CAREFULLY, IT IS BUILT LIKE A TANK SO SHOULD BE OK
BUT IF YOU WANT TO SORT YOUR OWN INSURANCE PLEASE FEEL FREE
This is going to cost me £40 to ship to a UK address !!!!!!!
