Thanks Evil_Maniac From Mars ... not sure I'd say excellent but I do OK.

My Kassai Hun is 45# which is plenty strong enough. Shooting Field Courses requires some energetic hiking, shooting three arrows at twenty four targets over roughly six hours and then repeating it the following day. A weight that can cast well without tiring the archer is ideal and, of course, can vary with each archer. GNAS competitions put a safety cap of 60# on bows.

Like a Longbow, this type of bow requires shooting 'around the bow', otherwise known as the archers paradox. Arrow spine becomes more noticeably important than it would when shooting through the window of a modern riser. Because of this, expect to see your accuracy drop, at least until you become used to it and/or find the ideal arrow set up for the bow.

That photo is my latest quiver and the last dozen arrows I made for myself. They are all spine and weight matched ...40# spine, 400gr in weight, with 100gr brass bullet piles and 5.5" fletchings, hand cut to low profile.

If you are considering a 'horse bow' then I'd definitely recommend Kassai's Hun, it really is a wonderful thing to shoot.
