What brand of longbow shall I get?

[Odie]

Hi,

I am new to this forum and as you can see this is my first post here

I'll be brief:
I have started shooting a few years ago. SO far I've been shooting a longbow made of laminate.
However; I decided to change the bow to something else.
I would like to get a longbow, preferably made of wood.
Partially because I think I need a better bow, patially because I want to have a new toy

Draw length: 29'' to the corner of my mouth
Poundage: 40 lbs
Arrow rests: not necessary, I am shooting from my hand. I want the bow as simple as possible.

Price: IT IS AN ISSUE. I live in Poland, where we don't have many options (two vendors that I know of). SInce I am a "weekend warrior" I would like the bow to be REASONALBLY priced. I am not going to be a hunter nor professional target shooter. I need the bow for recreation, but would like good quality stuff.

Could anyone suggest equipment/brands that might be good looking at? There's so many makers out there that I am a little lost...

Cheers

Hi Odie
I was at a shoot on Sunday and achap had some nice looking Yew bows there,not laminated for about £250.
If your interested pm me and I'll give you his details.

You shall consider that a wooden bow is not better than a laminated one. In fact, it is far less efficient. However, your choice will be driven by your heart and feelings !...
