Only two weeks away from our new traditional bows :)

My wife and I paid a visit to Hilary Greenland [1] in Somerset, England a few months ago. We wanted to place a custom order for a Carriage English Longbow (two-piece longbow) and a Mollegabet. She asked us a lot of questions and looked at how we shot with our bows before taking the order. Fast forward to present time, she's now ready to give them to us so we can test them!

We will be flying to Bristol just for this, really, although we will also visit Wye Valley Archery Centre in Wales and perhaps even try and make it for the Mary Rose museum [2].

I was wondering if anyone had a Mollegabet bow (my wife's choice) but most of all I simply wanted to share our excitement with the community! The proximity in time to having a new custom bow is one of the special moments in an archer's life, indeed.
