Nice. Let us know what you learn.

Great find!  Looks like original research!  Pray, tell, where did you find it?  Some the toxophilie may like a copy!

I got this one too! Girlfriend bought it for Christmas last year. Just finished a baywood/nutmeg shorty with sinew knocks. This book is great. However I will disagree with the drawing which states the bow is misrepresented... its not, just has a lot of string follow.
