Thanks ;D That words was said by the famous viking archer Einar Tambarskjelve. He lost his bow in the battle of "Svolder" He was fighthing for his king Olav Trygvasson. The king gave Einar his bow. Einar broke the kings bow at the first shot. Then the words came......Einar was a very strong and handsome man. He was shooting heavy viking warbows. 150#.......... a real hero. :-)

Very cool weapon.  Painted Lakota bow.  Bad pic but you can see some similarities.
