More recently, I've had thoughts about purchasing a bow and possibly a few arrows
I decided that it was difficult to do any of swordsmanship without a parter or two and that archery is something that can be done individually. I borrowed a friends bow for quite a while and just as I got the hang of it, I had to return it.
Are there archers out there who know a great or a little information about bows and manufactorers. I'm interested in a tradition bow, none of the compound stuff.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

3I was thinking along the lines of wood. But I suppose that fiberglass is stronger and would last longer?
I'm really new to all of this and I have yet to talk to someone in person... there is a hunting store not to far away.

6Thanks for both of your replies.
I am even more convinced now, than I was before, about getting into tradtional.
I guess my next question is price range and the styles/types and makers available. What are my options?

Re: Thinking About Archery
7i've been interesting in archery for a while, especially traditional longbow (compound bow is cheating ) but never got into to it, I wanted one of the bows inspired by LOTR, but they are a couple, few hundred dollars, and i dont have that kind of money. maybe when i get finished with school or something or when i get a job and have spare money, this looks to be an interesting hobby. not to mention not everyone can say they can shoot a traditional longbow.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
