If we're talking about good bow makers there only one or two you could even get a heavy self yew bow from.

Who are the bowyers for MR replicas? Did a google search and found quite a few. Mostly UK based.

Roy King was the one who made them but that was years ago, and sadly he passed away. Others have made 'replicas' but never convincingly. The rest of the crowd were historians, archers and an actor who knew a bit about archery. Nowadays you're limited

From your photo's, it does look like a nice big chunky bow. Nice bend on it.

A bow of the right wood and dimensions as an original. Follow the spec of one of the MR bows and don't rely on averages all the time. One bow maker who insists MR bows are only 100lb uses the length of the longest bow and the dimensions of the thinnest bows and the result is obviously something lighter than what was used.
