RE: best heavy longbow?
Art, I just re-read my post and I buggered it up. When I said "I'm still not getting it. Art, are you saying that aHH bow with heavy arrows is more efficient than abow with light arrows?"I meant to say "a HH bow with heavy arrows vs. a HH bow with light arrows". I think I understand what you mean tot say--or something like that! [8D] It makes a lot more sense that way anyhow--that design just isn't as efficient with lighter arrows, but will transfer more of the bow's energy into a heavier one.
Something else I thought of--I'll have to watch it again to be sure of the bow weight, but Fred Bear killed an elephant with one arrow from his 75# (I believe it was 75#) recurve--and this was well before the time of super strings, carbon arrows,and concave limbs. If an old 75# Bear recurve will do the job on an elephant, well..........
