 Nice bows and video, and a unique drawing style. You guy's need to get in the sun some, though. 8) ;)

Sweet stuff man! Makes me feel like I need to get off my butt and go make some heavy bows and arrows!

I'm curious though: what do you use for strings, and what stringing method do you use?

thanks guys!
sun is a little problem in the Netherlands eh ;) but that's why we got rid of our shirts!

Kegan, I'm using b-50 and not really happy with it ;) However, it works. You just need to do alot of prestretching ;) As soon as I'm running out of B-50 I'll buy FF. hope it's gonna give those arrows some more speed! I use the african technique to string my bow. Not very friendly for hornnocks though, that's why they're so tiny on that '90 ;)

staveshaver, bamboo is nice to work with!

Nice bows

I think those guys that don't get to experience the northern climate just don't understand the need for a shirt and an undershirt  :)
