That is awesome looking! How hard it is to tie off the rope though?

Thanks for your comments!

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

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?

: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)

Wow, thats a news! 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.
