I shoot mainly target longbow, GNAS and BLBS.
First up is an Adrian Hayes tri laminate 42lb@31 bamboo, pau amarello, and ipe belly. It's a nice bow and shoots pretty well out to 60yds.
Second bow is made by arguably the best bowyer in the country, Chris Boyton. If your into shooting traditional archery and want to be competitive this is the bow you want. It's a victorian style tri laminate 53lb@29' bamboo, ipe, ipe, with a noticeable reflex when unstrung. This bow i use from 60 to 100yds and it's an absolute joy to shoot, the finish to the bow is perfect, worth every penny.
It's thinner at the arrow pass than my thumb, so getting the correct spine of arrow is easy, and it draws smooth to full draw with no stacking.
Incidental Chris Boyton is friendly with yer man Ray Mears who has one of his bows, i think they worked together on some of Ray's programmes.
