Jim,
What do you expect people to say, when you are reporting BS?

Dear Jim,
all the records are to be found at the EWBS Website.
The record was shot at batsford 2009.
http://www.englishwarbowsociety.com/batsford2009_flight_results.html
James Farrar shot the bow 198 yards with a quarter pounder arrow.
the flight record is currently held by Allister at 438 yards. wooden laminate, 130 lbs.
Americans havent got a clue about heavy bows.


The shoot had more warbows on the shooting line and more yew selfbows present than has ever seen in modern times anywhere in the world.


have fun,


Magén.

I havew to say that I come here to have a chat about boiws fomr time to time. And usually I run into this kind of stuff. Seems people dont use thier manners here much. Its not a good place to be I guess.  You guys could use some lessons in manners and kindness.  I hate coming here anymore because its full of people like you who simply dont have a clue about how to handle o0ther peoples feelings.
I reported it to Justin Snieder and he does not care about it.
 I wonder whgy you guys feel it is ok to berate other people so easily, it really perplexes me to the nth degrea???   What is wrong with you rude and ignorant folks.

   I believe the flight record for an english longbow is somewhere around 438 yards but the arrow used was very light. Steve

Magen and I are partners. Sorry for the confusion.
 I just had the most awesome realization.
 I am a workaholic in my shop and do not get out much. I only visit here maybe twqice a year.  I have no idea of the fueds that go on in Europe. Its amazing Just simple covnersation about war bows and wham I get a front row seat at the competitions.  Interesting to say the least.  I think I will head back out to the shop and leave European arguments alone.  I am such a thick headed Irishman from time to time and cannot see past the insults to be objective sometimes.
 Justin Snyder was so correct to have advised me to ignore it all. Thanks Justin for the wisdom. I am definatly listening. You guys in England and Europe are my friends and you have my respects.   You should be a little kinder to each other over there.  Sticks and strings are fun , but, not worth tearing each other down over. I am staying away from the bees nest.  I dodnt realize the thoick competative nature of the warbow shooters, I should have known.

Probably would, but wouldn't be my first choice. Makes a super backing wood, for something compression strong, like ipe or osage.
