I used this bow in a class with a bunch of modern recurve bows, and while this is definitely a functional bow, you're not gonna outshoot most other archers using it. First and foremost as a very primitive design it needs arrows with a more flexible spine than most others at the same draw weight, probably 600-700 for carbon arrows. Also needs to be unstrung when not in use for long periods of time, unlike a lot of modern bows. I'd definitely recommend wearing a glove or finger tab on the draw hand, as the string will put a lot of strain on your fingers. The best part about this bow is that I was able to try both Mediterranean and eastern style draws. For the price, you could probably find better somewhere else, but Museum Replicas is a trustworthy seller, so overall it's a good purchase.

A Beautiful Display Bow.
First, I will say I have not fired this bow. I have strung it, and I have drawn back on it, but I have not fired an arrow from it. When I drew back, I noticed some wood fibers pulling away from the shaft a little. It's rustic, and looks like it too. I was too afraid to try firing it, so I hung it on my wall (De-Strung) and it still looks amazing. I would use this for part of a costume rather than any sort of shooting. Well done with this one!

Great bow for the price
At first I was skeptical of the price, but this bow does everything I need from it. You might need to sand down some rough surfaces, but overall, a great bow and fun to shoot.
