Arnold Smit - Bowyer of V-Archery lives in the Netherlands. He makes great bows. Though I have never met Arnold, I have spoken with him many times. He is an awesome guy. Someday, I look forward to shoot with him.

Here are pictures of the bows he made for me and my wife.

also...is it ok to use fast flight on them? mine has a rope for a string. i believe its b50 but would love a nice 10 strand 8125 on it. the tips are antler and phenolic.

I just received on in a trade. 62" 59#@28" & man is it nice! Smooth as butter at 31" & very quick. It's one of the nicest one-piece longbows I've owned so far. I do find the grip a little big in the troat, but I'm really clutching to find anything to complain about.
