Grey Drakkon Report post Posted February 19, 2016 That is awesome looking! How hard it is to tie off the rope though? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youri Report post Posted February 19, 2016 Thanks for your comments! That is awesome looking! How hard it is to tie off the rope though? Its not a problem. But like every authentic scythian, hun, hungarian/magyar armor, need an assistant to take on and off. That holds a deeper tradition, before war. (You can count on someone ect. )You can manage yourself to take on and off, but its a way tricckier. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Finch Report post Posted February 22, 2016 Doesn't look like enough knuckle protection from the fletches. I have a similar design and I get cut. I no longer wear it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Drakkon Report post Posted February 23, 2016 Hey! I have those same arrows! LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youri Report post Posted February 23, 2016 Doesn't look like enough knuckle protection from the fletches. I have a similar design and I get cut. I no longer wear it. Where do you get cut? At the forefinger? Usually we use the bow without any protection, and we dont get cut. Do you have plastic feather? Hey! I have those same arrows! LOL :D The world is too little. btw same colors or "Szalóky"-arrows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Drakkon Report post Posted February 23, 2016 :D The world is too little. btw same colors or "Szalóky"-arrows? Both! At least, it looks like you have the red and black fletching like mine. Szalóky has a store here in the United States on the West Coast so I was able to order some via mail. Everyone is impressed with them, and I love that they have a bodkin type arrowhead on the ones I have, they get a lot of looks (and tend to come out of the target easier) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A didn't know that he has other stores/merchandise around the globe. I know him personally but he never said. Yes mine arrows has red and black feathers too! We use V+ arrows, and they are very durable. Once we (accidentally:D) shoot through a double window and theres no damage on it.. He also makes bows too. If you can try them, don't miss your chance!

I'd LOVE to get my hands on (another) bow, but my bow spending has to be delayed a bit longer after the Grozer bow I bought last year. I'm unfamiliar with that kind of arrowhead, would you mind posting a pic? Might want to change this conversation to messages so we don't clutter up the board with archery talk.

My index finger knuckle kept getting scored. I use all feather fletching. Even my shooting glove shows scraping by the fletches. I bought a bracer of this design and had to add leather to close up the thumb hole a bit and will be adding a leather tab to protect my knuckle.
