They used broad Murkha ba...

JAL It's a composite recurved horn bow, with string bridges. Although I'll try rounding it and see what it looks like....

it's considered bad practise to write "my sig" in this topic because you'll probably change it at some point and then people won't know what you're referring to. cf. Tarasoriku's post. Then again, unless they do it in the near future, does it really matter? How many people actually come on here and...
