| You're correct, reenactment bows are no more than 30lbs (40 if shot at half draw on the field) They are low poundage because we shoot blunt arrows at armoured men on the field.
Some reenactment bows are horn-nocked but not all of them. You can use a reenactment bow for normal shooting but you'll be limited by your poundage. If you only want something 30lbs or less then it'll be fine, however you won't get low trajectories at long distances with a 30lb longbow!
