Donato Milesi, a bow maker from Italy, pupil of Jean Marie Coche, pupil of John Schulz, pupil of Howar Hill. Builder of one my American Semi-Longbow Howard Hill design (63#@28"), fast flight string, named "Howard"; yes........we name our bows.


 
Paolo, somehow attached to one of your videos was a demonstration by a longbow shooter. Although I never shot a longbow I shot recurves instinctively for years. Four arrows into a two in circle at thirty yards was my expected norm. I must say though that my hunting success rate went up considerably with the advent of compound bows at roughly 300 FPS. Now at 77 I'm reduced to using a cross bow, but I enjoyed your videos nonetheless.
 
The shooter is me, I used to have a large basement, and daily I used to shoot 30-40 arrows for form into a hail bail at 15 yards, in between hunting trips. hard to let traditional go....

Until this guy posts something on pay it forward free I would avoid him at all costs.

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

Hey pal! I'll take all the .375 bullets if they're available.
Thanks!
