Archery experience...I went on a course once...no habit of it.

European.

When do you need it by?

I will be building a number of Mesolithic/Traditional Flat/Holmegaard type bows early next year out of a variety of wood available at that time. The staves are seasoning as we speak.

They will all be between 25 and 30Lb if things go to plan and no more than 5'6".

It's all part of some very amateur experimental archaeology.

 

[Tengu]

I will be back at work in March.

 

[Broch]

OK, I'll see how I get on.
Not sure how I ship a long thin thing

Are you planning on selling any of these?

Probably not TBH; I will probably break more than survive.
