RE: bow maker
I don't know if I am right or wrong here, but if he makes bows, could he not get that information from knowing your height and weight,...I wonder if there is such a thing as an on-line scale/gauge thingy to work it out for you

RE: bow maker
BP, It worries me he is willing to make one but hasn't any idea what the parameters are. I would think there were some specialist techniques involved. Is there cash involved?

he's done it before, he was the maker of the horse bow i was bidding on but got outbid, i contacted him..yes cash is involved but were only talking £60 which i think is cheap.

RE: bow maker
i thought bows depended on your dimensions, wouldnt he just need to know your height and arm length

RE: bow maker
i've already got a 60inch longbow so i dont really want another one that size, i was thinking of something i could use in woodland-so i'm assuming someone would use a shorter bow for this??

RE: bow maker
fair point, hard to run through woodland with a 60inch bow.
I imagine thats something that would come with a hell of a lot of practice.

RE: bow maker
It is hard running through woodland with a 60' bow but even if it is 3' you don't want to be running. Animals hear you for miles. You need to be moving very quietly.
