My only critism would be that you need to draw them further!

Post by: Lukasz Nawalny on November 01, 2011, 02:13:19 pm: yes elb was faster , angular 173. Elb max speed 179. Angular shoot very stable, smooth.

Post by: Pat B on November 01, 2011, 05:54:02 pm: Both bows look very nice. I especially like the angular bow. If you could draw 36" you would really get the extra energy from the sinew and more speed but the speed is good as it is.

Post by: Scowler on November 02, 2011, 12:06:15 pm: Although I'm partial to English longbows these days I really like your angular hickory bow. It looks very much like an Assyian/Egyptian composite bow. Oh yeah, the background music on your video was very cool. Thanks for sharing.
