Over the past week, I've been building my first long bow under the watchfull expert eye of Pip Bickerstaffe and his collegues at his Kegworth workshop and now it's finished. The bow is for indoor shooting,(50lb@28 1/2") and is a laminate of an Osage belly, Bloodwood, Maple and Bamboo core with a Bamboo backing. The arrow plate is milky white Indian Samba deer horn and the almost transparent nocks are from an English dairy Longhorn Cow.
... and does it shoot....you bet it does.....
