Pattern
Hiya,
Just wondering if anyone had a pattern for some full-length breeches-type trousers lying around. Have had a little search but not very fruitful :/
Much appreciated.
Ta!

Re: ARROW HEADS
Here in the UK, Hector Cole makes some proper badass heads. I've only ever got second-hand haha but I guess you get what you pay for because they are super expensive. Richard Head Longbows also supply some nice stuff, where I get most of my heads from. They used to do some swallowtail ones for a few...

Re: English Longbow vs Magyar Horsebow - question
Archery is a sport not of strength but of concentration, The archer's nirvana is the perfect shot, not the massive poundage I'm sure many could prove me wrong, but I'd tend to disagree with that - depending on what you're shooting . In my opinion, the whole point of English Longbowmen was not 'perf...

I actually really like the idea of incorporating the wood into something else. Not sure what though - it was a flatbow so a bit to thin for a knife handle I think...

A very sad day...
It happened... my bow snapped :( I guess I was lucky that the first bow I made lasted that long! I think I pulled it back a couple more inches than normal to get a bit more power... and it just snapped. The top half went flying but I remained unhurt (: Just before I'd noticed some stress marks along...

Re: Longbow drawing hand position preferences?
Ringulf, that's a very good point. I really hadn't considered that.

Re: English Longbow vs Magyar Horsebow - question
Yea make sure you have the right technique. With my first trad bow I jumped from 25lbs to 50bls... not recommended but was able to do it as soon as I noticed what was wrong with my technique. Different sorts of bows do feel different though. Also with your horsebow the draw length to draw weight rat...

Agree with Manveruon, if you're wanting a traditional bow go as simple as you can. For performance go for shaped, but I don't think it looks very nice and you can get just as good with practice.
