Today i finally got around to buying my bow it's a HUNGARIAN BOW OF THE MIDDLE AGES as used by the Magyar and also I've since realised used by Robin Hood in the BBC TV series. Damn that sounds too cliched now.

I bought it in this design, see pic below, although I'm considering putting a knotwork design on the limbs in the future. Z is currently creating one for me.

total length: 60 1/2"

length between siyahs: 53"

length strung: 55 5/8"

draw weight: 44# at 28'

max. draw length: 35"

brace height: 7"

Next up I need to get a Gorytos - a bow quiver.

Hoping the weather is clear enough to try her out tomorrow. I'm giving up smoking again at midnight but my cold is too bad to actually smoke anything tonight!

FESTIVAL LATEST:

Guilfest line up is looking superb and Exeter Respect is on before that! Really enjoyed Glasto only 50 weeks to the next one.
