Your bows just better and better. These last two are quite impressive, both for their sheer power and pleasing lines.

Thimo,

You've come a long way as a bowyer in the past 6 months.  I feel a kindred spirit with you and your obsession with building bows that contort your face at full draw.  Those are some very nice bows. 

If you do make 150#, you'll be part of a very exclusive club.  Only a few people in the whole world doing that.  Race Ya!  Ha, ha, ha!

Bob,

I don't think there are many more than a dozen in that range.  There may only be two or three doing 175# in the world.  It's hard to say because any guesses are based on who shows up at shoots and on forums but there may be more.  My goal is to move up from 110# to 150# but I don't know that my skeleton is on board with that one!  People seem to be able to get into a routine of shooting 120# or so but much more than that requires concentrated effort.

Ryan, They could maybe hit something the size of a horse at 250 yards but not a deer at 15. ;D    Pat

If you're shooting into a mass of 25,000 soldiers, can you miss?

Well, JD, there have been estimates that it took between 20,000 and 200,000 rounds per kill in WWII through Vietnam, and I wonder if there is an similary type of estimates for medieval battles featuring the English war bow. Do you know if anyone has done a study of the kill ratios at Agincourt, etc? And was suppressive fire or harrassing fire a factor in those battles?
