Hi again!

Here is a picture of me shooting my Kassai "Bear" bow (110 pounds with a 30 inch draw). I can honestly say now after a couple of years of shooting that the roman army bows must have been at least in this range too. It is a really powerful weapon and if a social scientist like me can shoot it how about an experienced syrian archer!?

I have never felt a pain before quite like the one I experienced when my string broke durin shooting. It felt like a mule kick in my left shoulder :wink: ...
