Hi All,

My wife is very interested in a Bamboo Flatbow for field archery.

Could anyone please help us find a retailer who stocks there.

Thanks to everyone for your help,

Les

Hi Madhatter,

Thanks for the link - can't see that he does Bamboo unfortunately.

Anyone else have any suggestions please.

Cheers

Give Andy a ring, he does make bamboo bows.
It's an old site but his phone and email address is on there.

Thanks to you both for your suggestions.

My wife has gone with the one from Flybow.

They don't have it in stock but will order it in for her.

Could be a couple of weeks before it arrives.

Thanks again.

Les and Mandy

Madhatter is right Andy does make Bamboo bows and they are beautiful bows.
But you have chosen the Austrian one, what poundage?
Are you going to be at the devon challenge (your neck of the woods), if so, i'd like to meet and see it.

Hi Mark,

The bow Mandy has ordered is 30# but they are made from 25# up to 70#.

Not sure when the Devon challenge is.
We are at Dorchester this Sunday and Westcombe on 20th.
After that, Osprey, South Wilts and Ballands.

We can't shoot the 3D Champs at the end of May due to Mandys work commitments.

Have a good weekend.

Les
