@xinexer If you have not fond a bowyer I recommend Ted Fry at Raptor Archery. He is an excellent bowyer.

[freddakiko]

man, all i can get in the us are ugly compound bows covered in pulleys, and when i find a nice wooden bow they are always extremely expensive. i have to stick to a recurved compound until i can get something offline or save up enough to buy something carved here.

[TheGavinch]

Do you make your own arrows?

[rattyarchery]

@TheGavinch yes :-)

[miles305678]

@xinexer There are some on E-Bay for about 40-60 dollars its where I am buying mine :)

[gustaverds]

'That looks like a nice bow  . . .

[flamingamstel]

@xinexer you can mage your own long bow... there r planty of you tube vidoes on how to or you can just google longbow usa or something on the net i am sure you will find something

[RuledObsession]

[TYKKETYKKE]

How tall are you Ratty?

[rattyarchery]

hi i'm 5ft 9inch i was 15 stone in this vid ;-)

[TYKKETYKKE]

Wow, that's wicked. Meaning, wicked how you can draw a bow to 34", despite your medium height. I'm 5'9", and my absolute draw length is around 33", I'd say. Respect!

[rattyarchery]

@xinexer. sorry i don't know any english logbow bowyers in the usa.

[rattyarchery]

this longbow is 80" long. i am drawing the string to 34"

[mpkennedy08]

@rattyarchery wow that is long. mine is 72".

where do u get your strings from ?

[MrCemgok]

do u kno somewhere i can get a completely custom made english longbow. i want it to be 48 inches long so like a english short bow. plz help

[Harudath]

Well then its not an English longbow if you're after a shortbow...

[siinew]

nice stuff! i've never shot a bow over about 85# so i'm watching the way you draw really high over the top of your head, for technique and strength. nice tune for background music too, what is it?

[mrguitarjoe]

ah why dont we all have traffic cones? oooh btw nice shooting

[chr25y]

what kind of bow does that guy on the side of u have like at the end of the video

[rattyarchery]

thats a target recurve bow made by yamaha

[chr25y]

thanks but who is yamaha

[Gh0str1d3r1973]

That's the little Japanese guy that also makes neat motor-cycles.... ;o)

[crazychris0003]

You have to be on my side, you prefer the horse bows, right?

[magemager0]

i see the black thing on the lower limb, i read that its holding some laminate together, also idk if anybody else saw it but it looks like the lower limb is bending a little more, btw nice shooting

[rattyarchery]

hello magemager0

its quite possible the lower limb is bending more than the top which may be the reason the hickory split. also i think the black exaggerates the bend in the vid

i think it may also be because i am over drawing the bow in the vid . the bow was designed to be drawn to 32" i'm drawing it further than 32"

thanks :-)

[magemager0]

k i never noticed that

[Gh0str1d3r1973]

Darnit Ratty... you make it look so easy :oP

[NewFoundArchery]

Hey ratty great video. Great bow as well. But one question. What is the black thing on the lower limb?

[rattyarchery]

hello newfoundarchery

the black on the lower limb is linen serving thread covered in superglue whipped around the width, because there is a split in the hickory laminate of the bow.
