Osage Holmegård (fulldraw p.2)

<< < (7/10) > >>

Kviljo:
I know there has been some confusion about the way some stone age bows were drawn. I haven't found solid evidence of either, but my own feeling is that they too must have seen the huge strength and security in having a single growthring on the back of an elm bow.

But if there is some arguments for backward bows, I'm really really interested in hearing about it.

It would be super if you found the magazine, but dont spend too much time looking :)

I wouldn't call it a Holmegård replica - it's way too yellow for that, and of course I haven't used measurements from an original artefact, but I assume the Ertebølle-people would recognize it as a "normal bow", hehe ;)

OldBow:
Glad to see that osage as premium as this one is was made into a bow by a bowyer with real skills that you obviously have. Got you bookmarked for July Self Bow of the Month, too.

DCM:
Kviljo,

I looked and did not find the PA issue w/ the Holmegaard article.  I may have giving it away, as I found issues back to 2001, but I know I subscribed before that.

Pat B:
David, Was that the article by Hillary Green(something). The only female in the MRT.    Pat

DCM:
Yes Pat, I believe so.  I know it was a lady, and Hillary sounds familiar.  I want to say it was a cherry bow perhaps.  Interesting article.  I recall a good tiller profile picture.  Wish I could find it.  I think it was posted online at one time.
