Sebastian does look good, though. Just hope he never has to take flight before some charging cavalry with those flowing robes
And Yes Quadratus, we probably would ......
Mind you, its very hard to come by a good selfbow, most longbows and flatbows on sale by even traditional bowmakers are laminated (for the non-archer, same as composite). I recently saw some really great ones at a traditional bowers meet, made my mouth water.
On the Length of the bow necessary I must disagree, because I just recently shot targets to shreds using a Holgard style 150 centimeter ash flatbow. I did have to be careful not to overdraw the bow, but on shifting my anchor forward along my yaw got good grouping. It certainly felt over 50 lbs, although it had not been graded. :lol:
Good shooting to all! Become the arrow ...
