Thanks for the links, guys.
Kegan, utilitarian is fine by me. I prefer it to anything overly ornate – pretty as they are, I've never cared too much for over-decorated bows. I'd rather have something that I don't mind bashing through thick brush with.
Since the thread is here, I guess I might as well ask if anyone uses the bend-in-the-handle warbows for hunting. As I said, I am more interested in the Victorian style ELB, but I am curious as to whether or not anyone still uses the full-compass, heavy-draw longbows to hunt.
Kegan:
Then the build along is for you ;). But the tiller is slightly mroe elliptical (hopefully) as full compass bows are a little trickier to shoot. I'm shooting one now, and it is a little touchy at times. Other than that, it's jsut a heavy hunting stick :)!
