Smile Got my new bow!

It's arrived!! And it's so lovely!! And so scarily powerful! LOL

It's a 44# Grozer Hun bow, with fishskin finish, and here I am having a little go in the garden. I'm using my old X7s just for practising, I'll be getting all kitted out properly later. It's dead fast!

Not sure which is a more unnatural colour, my flights or my hair... maybe I should start a poll..

the bit of your collar under the chest guard looks a bit like a fin, so it goes well with the fishskin finish on the bow. The bow is very cool, as is your hair colour!

Thanks! I have some plans for the arrows, tied into the fishskin theme... but I'll surprise you with them later!

Have to say that the service from this ebay guy was great.. Couldn't believe it when I came home from work and found the bow had arrived already! It really cheered up a grotty week.
