Where to find an affordable warbow

(1/5) > >>

Timmah:
Hello All,

I am desperately searching for somewhere to purchase an affordable warbow. Myself and several friends have been searching high and low for a good bow. I know of a few makers like Pip Bickerstaffe but unfortunately his prices are in pounds and with our current exchange rate a bow + shipping will cost in excess of $1500. *urghh*

A few relevant facts that may affect your answer:
I am in Australia;
I am looking for 100#-120# draw weight;
I would prefer to stick with a yew selfbow or backed yew bow but will stoop to laminations if absolutely necessary;
And i would like to keep it under $1000AUD including shipping etc.

I know what your going to say... "Make it yourself" and believe me I have tried. A pile of broken bits of timber and a few hits to the head have made me consider the expensive option ;-)

Cheers Guys,
Tim

Timmah,
where abouts in Australia are you from?
are you and your friends part of a club? or just a group of like minded warbow enthusiasts?
I am in Perth.
Cheers,
Mal.

I had a look at rudderbows too. It's quite a flat bow - I'm sure it works well, but it's not an english warbow for sure.

It seems you can order one with a drawlength of 10 inches!
