Title: poundage on turk bows
Post by: benjamin on March 13, 2008, 01:59:27 am

I know not everyone can or wants to build a bow that can shoot 800+ yards. But does anyone know what the poundage of these bows was? Are we talking 50lb flight bows or 150lb bows like the British? I know the secret's in the amount of reflex but if it's possible at some weight that I can manage, it would be a great experiment. Has anyone ever tried one of these?
