[Regia-NA] viking bows

[Gareth Evans]

Please do not think that I was having a go, or slating.  I just like
shooting bare bow, I have done the Sight, stabiliser, Weights, wind
direction, pacing.......etc.  I prefer pure natural bare back bow.

You mentioned that these bows were Yew, now I get your point.  Yew bows
should only be made of good staves.  If it is made out of inferior wood then
yes the backing might help avoid injury.  Yew is a nasty splintering wood,
so I do now get your point.

Have you thought about ASH, common Bow wood in our period and fairly easy to
get a good stave.  Just an idea, hope you enjoy the shooting that you  do,
as that is the whole point.

All the best

Goose
