Heavy weight bows

Have you heard any word on how Joe Gibbs is making out with that 156 pound(I think) composite Adam sent him?

Not sure.  He's playing around with recurves in the 190lb range at the moment, along with something similar by Hilary Greenland.  What was the bow Adam made? F/G or natural materials?

A 60# recurve like the one above has higher string tension than a 100# longbow

Didn't know that.  Streuth!

     All natural.

Sounds amazing.  He's not had it at any shoots I've been on so far, but I'm probably shooting with him in December so I'll ask him.

there are apperently many horn bows in turkish museums calculated to be over 200lbs draw!!! , I think they even got them up to 300lb...warriors developed such good armour in those days, bows had to be strong to stop them.....think about that!!!
