Barney, that is a beautiful bow , when I've done making my flat bow, with stuff I've had hidden away for 20 years I'd like to make a horn composite ,more inclined now that I've read your comments on the relative weakness of glass lams. But I'd be very happy to make a bow like yours even if of a low draw weight. I think there is a bit of confusion about very heavy draw weights for horsebows and the equivalent fighting bows, the excessive draw weights, I think, were for distance, i.e. flight-shooting which was a very different exercise Once again ,lovely bow, and best wishes Tom
