Hello, does anybody of you have some experiences with buying bows in the Czech republic? I have a few weapons from a Lutel company (they make swords etc. www.lutel.cz) and they are very competetive in middle price range (like e.g. italian DelTin). And now I have found a company in the same city who deals with bows (www.luky-jma.cz). TheyÃ‚Â´ve got website only in czech, but I have found what I need in good price, but donÃ‚Â´t know more about the quality...
Some experiences with them? It looks really good...

Well, it looks nobody knows anything about them... :sad:

Is there somebody interested in bows and cold weapons or am I a solitaire? I thought, that when you are wearing an armour, you need to hold something in your hands to be complete

maybe I am not right. so nobody has any good or bad experiences with Czech?

There are a lot of people who know about bows, just none have bought them from CZ :-)

. Persoanlly, i think you'd be much better off looking locally and getting your hands on one. This is a much better indicator of the bows shape than a photo. IMHO.

trochu cestina rozumim.

I personally wouldn't buy from them. The Avar might be okay for SCA use -- but it's definitely not an Avar-style bow. The others are basic recurves, sometimes with weird wallhanger stuff put on them.

Hello Russ, are you from Budapest? ThatÃ‚Â´s quite close to me - I am from Czech

But nowadays I am not there... :sad:

I have about 10 different weapons from Czech swordmakers "Lutel" and they are really very, very good (I am and active fencer...). IÃ‚Â´d contacted them and they told me about the bowmakers - they are friends, so I decided to visit the Luky-JMA company personally to try the bows... I can then write here about it... It will be...well...about the end of next week (IÃ‚Â´ll have a trip to Czech...).
But I donÃ‚Â´t agree with you about those bows - they look to me quite historic accurate (except the laminate in it

). Let you know next week (maybe also with some photos...
