Hi fengmodao,

Welcome - Your contribution is very much appreciated. Central Asian horn bows are absolutely fascinating - They are marvels of the bowyer's art.

Could you tell us the draw weight of the bow in Kg or Lbs and the length of the arrows, that is, the draw length?

How was the bow stored all these years so as to prevent de-lamination and general deterioration? And could you give us some details of the bow string?

Cheers
Chris
