yeah the long bow is easy for me to pull, prolly cause i shoot one, i shoot 55-60 lb but it doen't feel very heavy at all any more. as for you who want to try trad, make one! i make all of my bows, i mean all of em, ive never owned a bow i didn't make.
here is my website i have a tutorial for makign a simple longbow, good first time bow, also some pics of a few of my older bows that i made last year, havn't added this years bows.
