Traditional Longbow

[FLYBYU44]

I've been thinking of getting into traditional archery lately. Maybe looking at getting a longbow in the fall. I'm looking for something that will be affordable yet still pack enough punch that I could use it for hunting. Not sure if anyone on here knows too much about this, thought I would try though. Any suggestions?

Here are a couple places on the web to ask such questions; beware, some of these guys are VERY opinionated (if ye ain't doin' it my way, it's WRONG!) but there's still good advice to be found.

Don't know anything about commercial items; but either of the two resources listed should get you plenty of info.
The Primitive Archer site has plenty of info as well.

Thanks guys for the links, I was coming up very empty on my searches last night, hopefully this will help me out. Thanks!

You might try www.rudderbows.com . He does good work for a great price. Or, try and track down Pip Bickerstaffe and beg him to knock his prices down and ship to the US again.

Templar,
I just checked out that website you linked. . . . . . WOW!! Those are some AMAZING prices. There are some nice bows on there!

At that range, I have to ask if anyone can provide some testimonials . . . . . .
