Pred rokmi sa tu dlho viedli vášnivé debaty , ako nie je normálne strieľaťuť 120-či 140 lb lukmi a faktom je ( osobná skúsenosť ) že sú ľudia, čo neboli schopný natiahnuť 70lb luk. Možno poznáte , ale stojí za zmienku . Adam Karpowitz zmontoval už aj 180 lb luk a našiel sa chlapík čo s ním strieľa. Predtrénovaný streľbou z anglických celodriev.
" The English war-bow archer Joe Gibbs, at full draw with a Crimean Tatar-style bow madeby Adam Karpowicz. It has a 180lb draw-weight at 31 inches. Joe is using a Mediterranean three-finger draw because that is what he is familiar with, but he demonstrates even so that men with the right training could shoot bows of such immense power. Joe is of modest stature, though obviously fit and well- muscled. He reports that once the siyahs came into play, after about 18 inches, the bow became significantly easier to draw and that there was no stacking. At the time of writing he had only shot it on a couple of occasions, but in a comparison test with
an English longbow of identical draw-weight, the Crimean Tatar bow shot further. He used the same arrow (2.1oz with 7-inch fletchings) for both shots. Weather conditions were adverse for achieving a long-distance shot, especially with such a heavy missile, but the arrow from the English longbow made 298 yards, whereas from the composite bow, it reached 320 yards.
