Hello all.
I'm after advice on how to get into shooting the warbow.
Just returned to longbow archery and am currently shooting a 45# longbow with an indoor target club.
I've heard from many that the best way to shooting heavier is to slowly move up the draw weights.
But the only thing I will say (against?) that is that A) I don't have an endless supply of money to keep changing bows and B)Although many shoot modern bows with a higher poundage at my club,I find that my 45# is more than adequate for indoor target shooting at 20 yards.
I have read over various sites that many archers started with a 70# bow to get into the warbow style of shooting (after doing target style at say 45 or 50#) and the jump in weight isn't as bad as it sounds as the medieval style of draw is different.
Any advice much appreciated!
