RE: best heavy longbow?
Arthur-
Yes, HH will make a heavy bow - up to a 200lb pull! I was going to order one from them, and I may still do that, but I want to get the best 100lb bow available, so I thought I would pick the brains of this forum.
Yes I will be careful. I have been doing very heavy weight training for a number of years which is now supplemented by an exercise that exactly reproduces the drawing motion (in addition to seated row, etc) So far so good with the joints.
