Has this thread not been high jack by others interests.
Mika put up his take on a bow.
The debate as to what style I dont think was asked for and please note Mika seems to have stepped back from the discussion. I think you will find some of us, me include have tried to keep it to the acknowledgement of Mika's work.
We need to watch our responses because they can have a negative impact on participation on this forum. Thank you to those who have shared their thoughts on the style of bow maybe it is time you started your own thread.
I hold a high regard for those here but I came to this topic about someones wonderful work not to hear this debate that continues to go around and around. Take it to another thread.please!!!

Thanks Jeff, I have always thought that 'straight limbs' meant that the bow was laid up on a straight/flat surface.

Grahame, the above longbow thingy is a cracker to shoot. It picks up the weight very early and is glossy smooth. The yew is a factor here I think, that and the length. Arrow speed is fantastic.

Love the revised description mate Nearly spat beer all over the keyboard. If you don't try to pigeon hole it and just enjoy shooting it then you are on a winner. By the way, the workmanship looks first class.

Cheers..... Rod
