Do you know Daniel or Eirik? They're in Norway aren't they?  I bet they could shoot it at 135# and you get to see how good it is!

Those guys are my friends.  ;D They draw  160#. The only guys in Norway I know who could do that.  I can manage 90#. But I do my best to  reach 110# this summer.   ;) Are you on facebook?

Eirik must be above 160# now isn't he?  He was comfortable with 150# about a year ago if I remember.

There is a little bit ups and downs with those guys. I think they draw 160#. Maybee 170#. Thats impressive anyway.

Absolutely! I'm nowhere near that yet.  Would love to meet some of you guys in Norway at some point.  You seem to be right near the top of warbow making at the moment.

Anyway, nice bow (shame Hugh didn't like it ;) ) and hope to see more of your stuff soon!

what kind of cross section did you use? is it like the D's or more of an oval?

It's a D bow. I prefer that in a bamboo/oak lamination.  :)
