Those are some pretty good looking bows, amazingly strong too. It makes you realize how specialized and elite those archers were.

Del has seen those bows?  Or Del have you already gone, or is this coming up?  I have lots of questions.

If you look closely you will probably see Del's touchmark on one or two of the Mary Rose bows!   >:D

Del, you are a lucky dog. Did they have an almost round cross-section like it appears in some of the pictures?
