Thanks to all for your advice.

I managed to purchase a 'self-nocked' American white oak & hickory backed bow. 68" in length, with a 38lb weight on a 26" draw length. I spent hours making some arrows which appeared to be a good match!!

I went to the club today and managed to hit the boss most times, although many arrows did not score!! I scored 177 shooting a Portsmouth.

I think that LMP will agree that we all had a good laugh today, despite all recieving a good thrashing!!

Despite everybody being kind to you remember to bring the sherry next month. You join the longbow league, you lose, you bring the sherry!

I think you did well for your first time out. Keep practising

I have no problem bringing the sherry, I was only 7 points behind the person last before me!!!
