Fascinating. Left me eager to learn more. Thank you.

Yup I agree with oldtimer, a thoroughly good read that. Thanks. And like oldtimer said, now I'm eager for the main course now that the starter's whetted my appetite.

PS Oltimer you have got to post your real name sometime, it feels wrong to call you that. I feel I'm insulting you.

Good stuff here, I really like reading that, and I added another term to my inventory never knew that those outsticking pieces of those tukisch/mongolian bows were called shyahs.
great stuff

Really interesting and beautiful, I didn't realize that there would be such a difference in the speed ! They must be more accurate too.......in the right hands of course :yikes:

I have a Grozer trad hunter and love it. Parked my Hoyt compound for pretty much everything now.
