My new Hun style bows

[MikeO]

Hun style bows custom made by the hand of Attila himself! Really. Attila Keresztes in PA, USA.

Handle and siyahs are ash and canarywood, limbs are bamboo under clear glass w ostrich covers, siyahs have horn accents. Fast, smooth, and quiet. 54 inches tip to tip strung.

Very cool.   I can really appreciate the style and I'm sure it's a very good performer, too.


My arms just don't seem to be built to handle a bow.  I have the strength, it's just that they bend inward and the string hits my forearm.   A few disastrous times I tried a forearm protector, the string got caught under it.   I have developed what might in the shooting world be called a "flinch" when it comes to bows.

Cool!

Are you making your own arrows too?

I've seen videos of arrow making.  That's an art in itself.

Sooooo... Somewhere between 45 pounds and 60 pounds?

I was tempted to say something half jokingly like "where's the whisker biscuit?" or "which fiber optic pins do you like?"

There is something K.I.S.S.  that I like about traditional archery.
