technique for pulling a longbow

I am trying to teach myself to use my newly acquired longbow (as no one else in my archery club uses a traditional bow)

I am experiencing a lot of pain in my shoulder/upper left arm (I am right handed) and I am pretty sure it’s the actual pulling the bow causing it (i.e. not the weight on my arm when I get there) and I wonder if anyone can explain what the correct technique is for pulling a longbow as I suspect I have it completely wrong?
