Yeah, Cheers Stu.
Been looking for a while and realise some come with arc, some with both kits. Best I can find, all in, is around £280.00. Then you need your gas...... must have a serious think.
Have fun with it though!

I would just like to point out that the 'day late' refers to Colin's post, not my shoddy delivery :wink:
Oh yes. I can see how that could be misinterpreted. :oops:

I came into a little bit of money (nowhere near enough spend wisely) which I wasn't expecting, so it's been spent on a few things from 4x4 hire in Iceland in July when I head over with Summittoppler for a week in late July with our Fat Bikes.

Gwyn the post has just delivered what many people would think is the worlds most expensive stick ... I can't show you a picture of my new handcrafted yew warbow because it's been snaffled away until my birthday next month.

Someone I know, Brian Lee, is involved with Warbow Wales. Quite a character!
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Most would seem quite mad. We were on our way to a Warbow Wales shoot last weekend but had to turn back due to the snow ... always next time.

Out of curiosity, what's the draw weight? My elm (I think) reenactment bow is about 30lbs so about a quarter a Mary Rose bow.

This is a baby in warbow terms @78lb. I sometimes shoot with a bloke who draws over 170lb :shock:

....with my repaired battery for my Lumicycle headlamp - done at no charge. Always had ace service from them. Admittedly quite an initial outlay, well alright a substantial initial outlay, but light is bombproof(*) and searingly bright and long-running. Also at no charge a new buckle thingy for my Alpkit Koalalallalalala seatpack after the original one got scrunched in my back wheel ;-). So nice service from them too.

R

(*) some amusing youtube's of one being dunked into a boiling kettle and still working for hours on end, and one where a lamp was frozen into an ice-hockey puck and used for a rough game and still worked afterwards.
