That's a beautiful bow Lukasz!! Some pics of the building process would be very helpful. I'm getting ready to start my first horn bow build.

You are one of many bowyers on this site that never cease to amaze me. There's nothing I can type that expresses the complete "wow" factor of this bow, so I suppose a simple "Good Job" falls terribly short but will have to suffice ;)

That is a very pretty bow, nice detail. Will it pull farther with a thumb ring? A three finger draw has to really be changing the tiller. I don't know a lot about this style but thought the draw length should be a little longer.

you have right mullet, longer draw is allways better for energy store, but this bow its to short for long draw, orginal scythian bow have about 120 cm. But I think this bow will be not slow, we will see on chrono

nice bow lukazs,  i really like the decoration too,  great job.. i have built five of the scythian type bows,one of which was only 98cm, i was able to acheive a little over 28", it also had slight working handle, to help reach that draw length,,   the next one you build ,try making the handle working also... james

video with bow. Shoot fast with light arrows , on video I use very light arrows about 24 gram not 9 gpp. Draw stack on 25/26 inch , bow is not easy in use. In future I must make longer bow or working handle area or something else, we will see. But I think on first atempt not so bad

What sort of distance are you getting? Thought of the thumb draw to relieve some of the finger pinch?
