Heavy Turkish style bows
mullet:
Steve, just got back from hunting with James Parker and he had a massive weight Egyptian angular bow. He said it was 70-80 # and it was short.
PatM:
70-80lb is massive?
mullet:
uhh, guess you are tough. How many have you shot bare thumb, and it's around 48", didn't measure it?
PatM:
Why would you shoot it bare thumb?
I think the point is that many longbows of huge draw weight have been made recently and people want to see similar draw weight composites tested.
Badger:
I just went back and reviewed Adams tests done off of a shooting machine with a wide variety of arrow weights and it really is impressive. I expect a properly shot turkish war bow would have the advnatage.
