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.

Love your reproduction bow Bowman. Your string on the upper nock should be pulled through the loop so that it is more secure. I've attached a photo to show what I mean.  Curtis

Very good use of that hickory.Very nice set of arrows too.Did you say what your arrows are made out of?

  ;D Thanks for the advice. I make a loop. I think the original drawing is equipped with that sort of a string. Thanks. The arrows are made of 8mm. pine. Turkey trueflight and field points. I will make some new arrows for the bow later. With wild turkey feathers and maybe some hawk feathers.
