Looks good, Mercer!
Can you tell me more about your bow? Someone somewhere in this forum wondered about the shape of the roman bows. This gravestone of a "hamian archer" from housesteads has a reasonable distinct shape: http://www.roman-britain.org/places/ima ... hamian.gif
It is a quite basic shape of the so called "classic composite bow" (my own invention!). My "hungarian" type is quite close to that...
