[Ansteorra-archery] Period Long bow

[Patrick R]

I had not thought of the cut out disqualifying it from period. I thought it was high because I keep comparing the price to Kee's longbows which are also hand made (well with power tools but each by hand). For my arrow shelf I have leather wrapped on the riser, all of our loaner bows have one on each side for people who are left handed. Very true about the poundage it is high and unless you have worked your way up to it you do not really get the advantage of a stronger bow. I have seen (and made) heavier bows but never liked a heavy bow that was not backed.

$108 really isn't a bad price for a hand made longbow. I've seen them go for a good deal more than that. Only problem is its not a period longbow. The shelf that is cut into it disqualifies it from being used to score any period shoots. And unless you're taking it out to hunt with the poundage is pretty high for
Target shooting. Just so's ya know.
