Hmmm, is that just made as a show piece? I can't imagine it being used...

Might have something to do with that sharp cornered flat back, where it should be rounded to a circle at the tip...

Henry,
I don't care whether your bow runs supper smooth into the nock, 150Lbs with 1/2" of follow is pretty damn impressive in my book. Well done!

Well, I'm not so sure Marlon??? Perhaps not at present but with a little training why not? He is one of the all time great strongmen. Wether he could bit a barn door at 10 paces is another issue. Mark Stretton was actually able to hit a straw boss at a reasonable distance with his 200Lber as he's a strong archer not a strongman. At our last EWBS shoot Al and I were hitting a targets with a fully drawn 170Lb Italian yew warbow and I don't find it hard to believe he's 80Lbs stronger than me.

Jermy my bow was made not bend. Yes with training marius should pull beyound 200#. Whats bow poundage over 190# that when poundage begins to build up. Yes henry thats a nice bow. Cheers Marlon ;D
