A riders bow! Your opinion?
#61
I use a Grozer Hungarian Extra 1 and am very satisfied with it. I bought it for about £240 from a dealer and it arrived within two weeks. I am gradually getting used to it and have been quite surprised at the distance and speed the arrows go considering it is only 38lb. Some of the slightly more powerful bows I have seen don't seem to replicate the same distance and speed.

Poundage does not have such a direct relationship to arrowspeed, it is the powerstroke of the bow that is all important. The way these arms are formed are actually a recurve, really whipping that arrow out of the bow. I shoot a 45 # Hungarian Extra 1 Fish :lol: (with eelskin finish) using stiff spined shafts with Duro fletching (handforged points for display , socketed bodkin lookalikes for demo) and these slam the target but good. I will be posting my newly developed tanged trilobates shortly, really nasty pieces of work, replica's of the Obergammern finds, although I now based them on finds from Nijmegen and Xanten as I had acces to the originals. Still working on some other types, among which the heavy barbed socketed biblades found in Xanten in quantity!
