I had one of my best mornings of #archery this morning. Not because I shot well but because I had fun. Doug and Keith have just finished our clubs beginners course and they really liked the look of my longbow. So... I said "I have some spare bows in my van, do you want a go?"
Of course they wanted a go and they had a lot of fun trying my lower poundage #longbows We had a good chat too. I think I have converted them to #TraditionalArchery
7/x Yew trees were also a favoured (very hard) wood for #LongBows and #Spears, from #prehistoric times right to the middle ages and beyond. Even now, the German bowmaker Ulli Stehli travels to the #Uetli forest in #Switzerland to get #Yew wood for his bows
