Looks like a very nice bow, do you have any more info on it? -And how far did he shoot those arrows?

peasant1381:
I never thought anyone was going to ask!! Thanks.

It's a hickory,purpleheart,Ipe lam. It wasn't quite finished off - no horn nocks and not the right string fitted. The distances weren't that brilliant. It put the 1/4lber about 170 yards and the two torpedos (85g) around 200 yards. I'm sure it's capable of much more. I should have the opportunity to have another session with it in a couple of weeks.

Here's another pic
