Hawkeye1974:
Watched the video that is one POWERRFUL BOW! 
The arrow length might work for me, I am 6'6" and weigh  about 316 pounds.

Hawkeye1974:
That was some serious shooting the arrows might work for me.
41'  I am 6'6" and 316 pounds, unless some can give me better info on the size of arrows.

stickbender:

     I thought it was 105# bow, but whew, a 115# bow! :o :o  I doubt I could even string it, let alone shoot it as casually as he did.  I wonder, did he built it, or have someone build it for him?

Ian.:
115's nothing, the bow he pulled was 170 for the record way back when, if anyone has any info on that bow I would love to hear it.

stickbender:

     Sheesh! 170# ! :o  The heaviest bow I read about was built and shot by a N.A. Indian,can't remember his name, but, he made and shot a 200-220 lb. English war bow! :o  Showed him shooting a 1/2 inch arrow through a thick metal bucket filled with sand.  I would have to use bow like  that for a walking staff, or bridge support. ;)
