Joe Gibbs testing an Adam Karpowicz horn bow
WillS:
Joe's just made this video of himself testing a 180lb horn/sinew bow made by Adam. Might be of interest to some.
He uses a flight arrow and a heavy (63g) arrow for the tests through a chrono.

I think I dislocated four vertebra just watching it. Amazing stuff. Beautiful bow :) :)
Urufu_Shinjiro:
Not sure what was more painful, the thought of my shoulders shooting that thing, or him shooting it off the left side with Mediterranean grip, lol.
mikekeswick:
I've been waiting to see this!
If I made a heavy Turkish flight bow do you think he (or anybody else you know into shooting heavy bows)might be interested in shooting it? I'm making a few dedicated flight bows at the moment (estimated weights 70 ish and 90 ish) for myself but I've got a very nice thick pair of horns and enough wood for another core....I've been playing around with the idea of making a proper heavy bow just for giggles. I'd probably aim for about 140# with it.

Definitely Alicia of Alicia's Archery, though she also only shoots with 3 fingers :p hmm
