[quote=""Fingolfin""]but to tell you the truth I wasn't all that please with the design of the bow in the first place. Now, if HCG were to make a Mirkwood bow or a Galadrhim bow like the one Haldir uses at Helm's Deep in the films, then I'd be buying it before you could say custom-paint-job

Have to agree with Fin, at least in part. I'm not even too impressed with the Galadhrim bow, but I do like the Mirkwood bow.
OK, now about the matter of an officially licensed Mirkwood bow....
There was one being sold a few years ago, of that I am dead certain.
It is fully functional and comes with two, count 'em, two Mirkwood arrows.
You have to specify your DW, but I think DL is fixed at 28".
I THINK the manufacturer was in Italy but of that I am not certain.
bowstick.com began selling it again last year sometime, but now they are listed as "out of stock" but "More on order" (I'll believe that when I see it....the new bowstick.com is most definitely not the old "Justin Steinmetz" bowstick .com. )
There are some old postings on one of the forums here about that bow, although it may be about the first officially licensed Mirkwood Bow that was non-functional (and I don't know the manufacturer of that one).
