Hey Hey! Easy with the short jokes!  You guys are killing me!  At least we get to stand in front for the pictures.  Steve says he's bringing his stilts to the Classic next year, so look out boys.  No more mister nice guy then.



you stand in front and we sit in the back and still see over ya >:D

As if the desire to go back to the Classic wasn't bad enough, Basso dangles this bait in front of me.  Arrrgh!  The countdown to May starts, 8 months and counting!

Those are beauties.  What a cool gift.  I am glad she didnt give them to her son.

I noticed you said sinew on the belly of the one.  I cant say I have ever heard of that.  I wonder if any of our bowyers here have tried that.  Was it in combination with a concave belly, or was that the other that had the concave belly.  Dont forget the photos of the flight arrows. ;)

Thanks for sharing!

Typical flight bows of the time. Very short and sharply recurved. Amazing that hardly anyone makes this style anymore despite this type of bow shooting over 500 yards. Nobody has come close to the records of those days.
 I wonder if the sinew on the belly is to salvage a bow that may have cracked on the belly due to a breaking string.
 The technique of flight shooting with a string that broke on every shot was their solution to minimizing string mass.
 Here's a link to a thread on similar bows of the time: http://www.tradrag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3190
