Na, it's a friend of mine makes them at cost for me.  I'm a poor enough shot that I end up loosing them on a regular basis. :-\ ;)

It was a few years back now, but it was somewhere in the area of £90-£100.

Not heavy, it's around 45lb at full draw.

A good weight to have fun with. My flatbow is 50 pounds. I wouldn't want anything heavier for target practice.
