thanks for nice words guys.Stringing its not easy but not very difficult becouse draw weigth is no high. Strong bows with reflex - it is stringing challenge.

Very nice hornbow again!

WOW, another one of less than a meter which means less than 40"? That's really challenging!
Did you read the Karpowicz book about Ottoman Turkish bows?? If not I'm sure you would love that one!
