Great resource - thanks for that.Atarn.org is quite good.
In a moment of madness I've just bought myself a Magyar bow. (I feel like a kid waiting for xmas). I already have a 50# longbow and the Magyar is rated at 48#. Will I get away with the same arrows, or because of the extra speed am I likely to have to go stiffer.:
I've got a Grozer Scythian, and it's really sweet to shoot. Very quick, excellent cast and out does my longbow in distance easily (they're the same lb).
Yep, that's how I see the rules and having asked one senior GNAS judge, that's how he saw them too. The only thing that I'd add to that is in GNAS Field Traditional style is not allowed to string or face-walk.I'm not sure how much field differs, as I shoot NFAS field, but GNAS target there is no requirement to use the mediterranean loose. String- and face walking are allowed, as is thumb I believe. Just not a thumbring (although some interpretations I've seen say thumbring is allowed because it's like a tab, but any notch etc in the thumbring makes it a release aid and therefore not allowed outside compound).
But yes, you'd be in recurve barebow unless your bow and arrows are entirely traditional, in which case you could shoot recurve traditional in field.
Grozer is a well respected boyer - and thouroughly nice guy (according to Uller), and you won't go far wrong with his stuff.Hi everyone, i just joined this forum couple days ago and wondering if someone can help me find a cheap but good quality horsebow. I have been looking around and have seen a few in grozer website, can anyone recomend me any?
Thanks
Thanks for that. I have been shooting in the garden with it for a few days now (about 8m), trying various reference points both on my face and string. I even tried with my thumb, not a good experience.I'm not sure how much field differs, as I shoot NFAS field, but GNAS target there is no requirement to use the mediterranean loose.

Thanks alot for that. I was looking at those bows from ebay but wasnt to sure on wheather or not they are any good as I never herd of the bow maker. Since you have used the bow, in your opinon, does it stack, vibrate or have any hand shock? My draw lenght is 32" so would that bow from ebay suite me?Grozer is a well respected boyer - and thouroughly nice guy (according to Uller), and you won't go far wrong with his stuff.
