I've just about completed my first year with a longbow. I've taken part in my club's Frostbite, Armerican, and National competitions. I'm also the only woman shooting longbow at my club. To top if all off I've just learned that I've earned my 1st class badge with the longbow scores. Not bad for a 50+ yo who's only been shooting for 2 years.
I'm shooting a 40lb bow at the moment but am awaiting a phonecall to tell me that my new 50lb bow has arrived in store and is ready to collect.
It's strange but I don't mind hitting green when I shoot longbow (I think two of us are competing for who gets the most greens). At least the ground around and behind our target is well aerated. I'm better in the field shoot with the longbow as well. I think I've found my favourite bow.
