Hello, Robert
Oh, yes. This was the first time Devyn met several members of Legio III, and he had a good time.
To our resident Magister Militum,
Actually Devyn's bow is the Extra No. 2, which is made from modern materials. Mine is a true hornbow, the No. 3 Asymmetrical Hun. I have 3 bows made by Istvan Toth and 5 Grozer bows. For a symmetrical, I recommend the Grozer Magyar in the G series, or the Magyar hornbow. For an asymmetrical, either of the Grozer models are accurate. :-)
Be wary of hornbows backed with buffalo horn, and save up for one with steppe cattle horn (Hungarian gray cattle). I have had buffalo horn crack under normal use; and at the high price of these bows, it really hurts if the bow is beyond the one year warranty. :-x
