can someone tell me where i could find a site that lists all the sections of a horsebow? i found a pretty nice one online but it comes with a lot of customization options and i don't know which part of the bow they are talking about, and i don't want to miss out on getting something that will make the bow look or perform better.

also can someone tell me if this Scramasax http://www.kultofathena.com/product~item~PC10...amasax.htm has a snug fit in its sheath because to me it looks a bit flimsy and i don't want to get this knife if it will always fall out of its sheath.

Are you crafty at all? If you really like the knife it's not very difficult to whip up a seax sheath that will look as good or better than the one they are offering (even if it's a crude design). Chrome tanned black leather is more than a little anachronistic.

Hi

Could you send a link of the bow you want to get?

That seax is not really the correct shape either.

Cheers

sweet the knife looks really good and the bow pics helped clarify thing for me. is there anywhere i might be able to get the same knife with the same sheath cheaper than $85 ??

btw this is the site i was thinking about getting it from. this is the cheapest i've found this bow with customization options but if someone has a better site plz feel free to let me know (doesn't need to have a customized bow just a customizable draw length and weight) http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/customize...-8616.html

Lots of customization options? Are you, by any chance, talking about Saluki bows? The number of options available there is frankly quite overwhelming even to an archery geek like me...

Anyway, just to add another link that might help you get a clearer picture about the different parts of an eared composite bow:

I used thefind.com to search for that scramseax they gave me a link to an American site called knifecentre.com that is selling it for 70.90 I checked it out while they're site doesnt look impressive visual wise they seem to be legit

heres the listng pagre o the find.com all the dfferent sites are selling it for between 70 and 80 dollars

I've ordered from Knifecenter before and had no issues.

sweet thanks for the link. This is the best price i've seen so far so i'm probably going to be buying it from here. Once again, thanks.

:D :D :D

ok so i've heard that medieval collectibles is a bad site to buy from so i looked around and i found a few good looking bows on kult of athena. I'm don't know too much about the specifics of archery, i learned the basics in some class i took, so i'm not sure which bow is made of good materials and reliable so i was wondering if someone could check out these bows and tell me which would be the best. i would have gotten a modern recurve or compound but i don't know why but i like the ancient style composite bows the best.

is there a link i could get to ask him the question? cuz i looked around the site but didn't see anything like contact us or something like that.

You might want to take a look at this site http://www.grozerarchery.com/index_m.htm I have never bought from them but they seem like they are pretty good quallity to me and even if you dont buy anything you should still find out a lot about different types of composite bows. Hope this helps, good luck.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet but you could go to horsebows.com for a great hun bow. I owned one for a while and loved it. The product was great as was the service. Sorry if you've all mentioned this site already and I missed it, still having my first cup of joe.

with horsebows do you NEED the thumb release or will they work just fine with finger tabs??
