Wow!  That truly is very nice work.  Reading between the lines so to speak, the fella that started that project is most assuredly looking down from that great bowyer's bar in the sky with a satisfied gleam in his eye.  You done good!  Josh

Ok, it's really bothering me.  I can't decide which rune system you are using-- it is clearly not the elder futhark, but it is close.  I also can't make any sense out of the text.  There are too many vowel in the second line--AAUT SOTT-- and the last 5 runes on the top might be a word for snow--but I just am not sure.  Did you just choose runes at random, or did you try to write something--I think they look awesome, though.  Runes always make a bow shoot straighter.

thanks for the puzzle.

The runes were from goth similar to elder. I sign my bows as wicked snags which the one line is meant to spell.
 The second line spells I believe aau (It's been a while since I looked all this up)which means ale or beer and appeared on a lot of weapon and such. It's followed by 3 victory rune and 2 t's which will bring victory in battle so they believed. 
The spelling may not be exact as I'm 1500 years late to the party.

I use the runes for aiming as I like to shoot out to100 yards and need reference.
