The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

Cool! Looking forward to that!
It should be a great shoot again, although I have not picked up a bow for about a month so I need some practice!

Yes. Short 58" bows and 30" draw lengths usually don't mesh very well together because of the finger pinch issue.

Yes mate, Lukas work is something to behold... :shock:
From memory the inlay work is white phenolic.... but don't quote me... :lol:

Yes mate, the arrows are Wallace woods... Sue and Steve send the raw footed shaft to me and I cap, crest and finish the rest... Mr and Mrs do a very fine job indeed... :D

Thanks Rob, I am really enjoying shooting this bow at the moment... drop some money into Lukas ( Salukibows) account... the bow will take about 12-14 months to get here.... 8)
