As someone who always wants to know how everything works I'm desperate to try a longbow course. I've just spent a week making a set of medieval arrows from scratch with various specialist arrowheads (armour piercing, hunter, fire, etc) and I intend to make a photodiary if anyone wants a look but I've been trying to find a reliable bow-making course. Has anyone else been on the course at this place? how did you find it?

Cheers,

Gino.
