  I like that one, James. I had fun shooting with James and Chris Cade at a deer target at about 80 yards. Yea, James can shoot long distance.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Nice bow. It looks like a hybrid between the Saluki Scythian and the replica that David Betteridge made of the ancient form of this bow.

looks like a nice bow, does it have a sinew back? and it looks like it has several laminated layers , but I can't quite see properly, or is it a single peice of wood in the core??

Dragon, I believe it has a raw boo back, tempered boo belly and a multi-lam core.

That is a cool bow.  Those horsebows are quite the weapon.
