Just a little side note on the draw weights of the mary rose... Steve Stratton ( www.diyarchery.co.uk ) who makes bows from high altitude Italian Yew recently made a number of bows to (I think) the mary rose specs, the heaviest came out at 202# @32" quite an astonishing draw weight, it's currently an sale on e-bay. The other bows he made were also of very high draw weights (in excess of 140#). Anyway, off-topic again, sorry :oops:
