Sweet video. I was wanting ta ask ya to do a video, but I didn't know if you would feel like it, looks like an out right joy to shoot! So what, do you have about every type of horn bow known to man replicated now? lol Maybe you could compare em.

here's a pic of james working the limbs into full draw last weekend.  it was a rocket launcher then, can't imagine how fast it shoots now that he has it back to full draw.  james hadn't put the velum on then and the sinew job was flawless!
