RE: Any pointers on my first trad hunt?
I use a viper and a 66" longbow. Trick of it is cant. I can bend at the knees and back and head to where my bow is almost perfectly horizontial.
Next tip. When you draw, be sure to bend down the entire upper body on your left leg (if right handed). People with longbows, like myself, have a tendency to just move the bow arm and you end up hitting the body with the string and hitting high and not getting to full draw.
