I shoot crossbow and laminated recurve at targets, and will use the crossbow for combat archery as soon as I make some bolts... (this MSR, not SCA, so no ABDs....)

I also have a self-longbow that's kind of on order that I intend for both uses

.

My recurve is 45lb, the XBow is about 600 in-lb, and the coming longbow is 30lb.

I don't hunt (well, unless you count some of the melees...

)

jgalak,Your bow is almost finished.We've had very wet weather here and in order to keep moisture down,I have to keep putting my developing bows back in the oven.The good news is that school is almost out (2 days left,I teach)and I'll have more time in the shop.-Russ

No problem. Whenever it's ready, let me know.
