Awesome!

Very clean bow. Love the artwork/signature...is signed with a pen or pyrography? Arrows are looking good too, do you use then for flight shooting?

Thanks. The arrows on the picture is not the "flight arrows" for this bow. The arrows on the picture is ordinary target arrows. The bow is very fast. But with a short draw. The "art" work on the bow is made by a small black marker. It's elm with a dark colour. Very nice. Ebony nock overlays, 7 coats of "finishing oil" The string is a "fastflight". These strings get a little more power on "flightbows" It's a classic "stoneage" pyramid design. The dimensions on the widest part is 6 cm. The length of the bow is 60"

That one sure looks fast. And you really did great with that artwork, it's very stylish.

Don't shoot!
