Hi all. Just picked up a second hand longbow and am having a good time shooting with it so far, it's planned to be my part-time activity (recurve being the main focus) during the summer.
I've had a few comments though that I should not be holding at full draw at all with it because it may damage the wood. Now I appreciate that with any material the longer it spends compressed into shape the more it will tend to permanently bow, but is holding for 2-3 seconds at full draw really going to be that much of an issue?
