bassman:
Work of art. Have you shot it for distance or speed?

Digital Caveman:
Bassman, you've asked that about 6 horn bows in a row; I think you're trying to start a horn bow shoot out.

My bet is on the advanced selfbow, or maybe the Turkish bow.

bassman:
No I am not. I am just in awe of these bows. I have read about Turkish bows centuries ago shooting distances I can't even imagine, and would these bows be close to theirs. That is all, and no more than that. Not stirring any pot. Sorry if  any of you took it that way.

Digital Caveman:
Fair enough.  It would be a really interesting competition though.
