Ordered my first trad bow, need some advice!

Hi everybody! ( Hi Dr Nick! )

I've ordered my first traditional bow at last! After a lot of decision making, ive gone with a Grózer Scythian bow, love the design and i've seen one first hand at the club and was impressed. Not too expensive either for my first one of the type.

It should be with me in a week or so and a friend makes wooden arrows so thats taken care of....

does anybody know of any online references or guides to technique for using a Scythian/Hun style of bow? or even any recommended books? i've had a look around but cant find anything really useful.

Check out Horseback Archery by Kasai Lajos - it's a great read even if you're not interested in asiatic/eastern european bows.
