| Any good for a beginner? Hi all This is my first post on this site. i have shot compound for many years and also have a quicks classic hunter bare bow but fancy getting into the art of the longbow. i have found this one on ebay and just wondered if it would be a good one to learn with? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7232990400&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 thanks Donald  | |||||||||||||

| The specs look good. materials are fine, his feedback is good, the end price is not cheap, but he offers a warranty. Go and visit a bowyer or a shop with a range of bows before parting with your money. One of my club members bought a B..........e bow a well respected maker, and still had problems. Buyer beware, or what ever it is in latin. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The seller has another at 30#, both by Ivanhoe bows, so I assume the seller is from Ivanhoe's at Conisborough nr Rotherham. Check out their website for info on their products. http://www.ivanhoebows.co.uk/index.htm Mick

| Any good for a beginner leaving aside the usual warnings about buying things you can't see/touch etc, this one sounds and looks pretty good. The seller's chosen the photos carefully including the one which shows the tillering of the bow - certainly suggests they've nothing to hide. BUT, be very careful about longbows out there in the wilds of eBay - some of them are not what they seem. I know because I bought one a while ago. Ah well, I go to work to earn money to waste I guess!  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
