Phew for a second there i thought i was about to start ordering a longbow and bathing my arrows in blood...to be honest if anything that sounds equally as technical and even more knowledge specific than half of the 'modern' creations.

One of my biggest complaints when shooting such bows has been they feel uncomfortable light in the hand, sounds like an absolute gem all in all.

Once again congratulations and i'd wager it'll be darned unique for a very long time to come!
