Hi guys!
Shooting a bow of, lets say, with a draw weight over 70 pounds requires a totally different technique than with a traditional victorian style where the anchor point is at the corner of the mouth. I have a Grozer THR laminated turkish bow of 60# draw weight and it is for fun. The c-shape of the bow clearly adds to the dynamism of the bow, it is fast and accurate. Unfortunately it is clearly meant to be shot with a thumb-ring because of the acute angle of the string when drawn. I use the mediterranean three-fingered release and it is not as clear as I would like. It is also painful to the fingers because they are pressed so hard against the string / arrow shaft. I have also Kassai`s 110# bow but I am not shooting with it anymore because in relation to it`s draw weight it is not fast / powerful at all! The bow weight itself about 1 kilo and it is just too heavy to be efficient (because of the weight of the fiberglass). I would love to have 100# bow which would weigh 500gr tops...
Ps. lovely bow, Byron hock: !
