Has anyone used this bow and care to review it?

I was looking into a target bow closer to my Greek persona than my Longbow.

I saw this piece in the Gallery today. Andrea del Castagno (painter) Italian, before 1419 - 1457 Notice the bolt heads quite visible. The shield is leather over wood. The fleeting idea of asking to see the strapping on the back crossed my mind... Hopefully we can feel better about the carriage bolt ...

Made from injection molded rubber these tips were designed in accordance to the Society Marshal rules for a Thrusting Tip. The tip measures 2 inches across the face and compresses at least 1/2 an inch.

Glaukos the Athenian

And Windrose has the ones that are actually through the SEM's process and approved for use on fibreglass shafts.... Are those the same as the red ones? I don't believe so. I looked over the Windrose website and I could not find the ones specifically meant for spears? I can use THAT link if anyone h...

Excellent! That is more or less what I had in mind. I just wanted to make sure it was ok, though I did recall having seen them in the past.

Remember that if you get orders before you do the run and you keep prices low, you get more orders and more margin, while keeping us all happy

This helmet is of ridiculously amazing make. Perhaps among the best I have seen of any type made modernly, and surely nice than a lot of period ones.... A piece of art, if you asked me.
