Hi Nick. Welcome. Those are mighty fine bow! Jawge

Very nice bows, Nick! Our Dutch ancestors survived using longbows, it's in your genes    

Also, you're not giving up much going with the natural materials over 'glass, performance-wise.

Man those bows are sweet, if you sold them here in the states, I would buy one.

thanks for your kind replies guys!

Hud, I used scots pine dowels for the shafts. they started as 14mm, but I worked them down to 1/2" at tip to 3/8" at the rear. Using big fletches of 7 1/2"  long, and 3/4" - 1" high (yeah, too high, but my shooting range is max. 240yards... like shooting at 160yards). They're 73grams, and I use some simple machine forged bodkins I bought in a dutch archery store. They're rough, simple, and ugly, but they fly great    No nockinserts, not even a binding, usually just glue the parts together when I break a nock. Gotto make some better arrows soon!

falk,,, your reply dissapeared. but thanks for trying anyways  :D  I thought I had read it before... but it's gone now.
