I was just about to ask if this particular book had anything on these! This is more or less the bible for African archery. Thanks for posting the image Colin.

Thanks, Sajen. Does the rest of the German text describe how it is utilized?

I think so, but have problems to read it complete, that's the reason that I ask Colin for a close up of the text.
