Turkish Bow 100#

This one is 106cm long, about 100# at 28", mass 290 grams (277 when it was "naked"). I made this one using horn strips from the side walls.
I tested it before covering the sinew and varnishing it: I got speeds between 295 and 305 fps, using arrows in the 195-215 grain range.

Amazing again!
Francesco, what kind of wood do you use for such light physical weight bows?

Francesco,
The speeds are good with light arrows. I am sure it shoots heavy arrows well too.

I was in Italy nov-dec 2014, and very close Perugia- in Assisi, but didn`t saw this in real life. We had contact problems whit Alessi.
