Good call Ian! I got my longbow via the NFAS small ads on their website. Definitely worth a look if you don't want to spend megabucks.

Ian,

I'm still waiting on Steve getting back to me about dates and stuff, but there's a course run by someone to make you're own bow, why don't you come along with us to that?

Thumbs up trad bow
Good idea mate.

Two good sources of longbows are Richard Head and the Archery Centre (booth will come up on a Google search). They offer a range of bows from basic to wallet exploding. Have fun

Point of arrow at the top of the boss or there abouts. That said I have only tried it with a friends flight arrows which are barreled, 30 grain points and very low profile 1.75" fletching. My new bow is 51lb @ 28" it's sweeeeet!

For non wallet busting bows check out http://yewtreearchery.co.uk
Very reasonable prices, good bows, nice guy to deal with.
