Hi Ronnie
Yes it is a Yurt, this is at my freind Celestino Poletti's place in Italy, he is mad on Horseback archery and the Mongols, especially Genghis Kahn.

Just a couple of quick questions... why do you tiller your bows "upside down?" Probably not to you, but I'm sure you do it for a reason. Also, I noticed you paint the tiller board background a dark green, does this cut down on shadows, or is it for another reason?
Again, thanks, and keep the good stuff coming. Some of us on this side of the pond share your passion!
Cheers, Adam.

Hi Adam
You would be most welcome to shoot with us anytime mate.
I have always tillered my bows this way, no particular reason really, it's just the way I do it.
My tiller board is green because it used to be my sons table tennis table ;D
Cheers
Steve

I really hope you do take it up Joe, it is very addictive and as recent posts have shown, people can get very passionate about it.

I thought you guys might like this, This is on one of our trips to Italy,
Joseph Gibbs, Mark Stretton, Nick Ashley, Glennan Carnie and myself having fun with warbows, all the bows used are 120+ except for the Hungarian bow being shot by Celestino Poletti at Joseph, Now I know this looks a bit dangerous but Celestino holds the world record for 17,000 accurate arrows in a 24hr period, so we trust him completely, well Joseph did anyawy.
