I have a 35 lbs recurve bow, the company that made it did an excellent job with the wood/fo-wood color combinations. I oughta take a picture of it, if not to share here, just to have. I'm pretty good with it, though I need a few more accessories methinks.

All I have is a modern compound bow and if I remember correctly it can be adjusted up to 150 or 250 pounds. All I remember is that it can punch a hole in concrete walls when you miss the target. It ruins the arrow though. I wish I had a longbow, they are more fun to shoot. As you get more practiced with a compound bow it is pretty hard to miss.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Same, I was thinking of taking some archery classes too. I would like to make a wooden long bow though.

You know you're a good person when you see megablocks and have to do things you would rather not.

I own a stickey-dart bow.
I know it isn't anything special, and can be bought at the buck-or-two for cheep, but I love it. On a good shot, It can go about 30 yards.
AND the stickey-darts stick without you licking them!
Best $2 of my life.

I too owned a plastic toy bow. It is like a compound bow, but made of plastic. I have also lost all of the arrows (they didn't stick to the wall even if you licked them so I could care less about them). Back when I had the darts, the bow had slightly less rage than the distance that I could throw them. I guess it wasn't the best bow, but it was still cool.Barbapple wrote:I own a stickey-dart bow.

I have a bow...basic, basic thing. 30 lbs pulled (I feel like such a wussy). Pretty good with it, though I enjoy telling people that don't know me that I'm better with it than I am.

Don't feel like a wussy, I am a pretty big guy, and I'm old. I have been shooting a bow for years, this makes a huge difference with the weight you can pull. Some guys can lift 400 pounds, I don't feell like a wussy because I can only lift 300. Its all relative, give yourself a few years and a few $$ and you can buy a fancier, heavier weight bow. Personally I am planning on buy a low tech longbow next, I know a guy who still makes some traditional bows.Sir Smittens wrote:I have a bow...basic, basic thing. 30 lbs pulled (I feel like such a wussy).

I've seen some pretty decent looking bows for 100 bucks. I've seen some really good ones for much more as well.The Josh wrote:How much does a basic longbow cost?
I know the price range is probably huge, but I'm curious what the average cost of a longbow and some arrows would be (the arrows preferably without suction cups on the ends).

Well, I have a longbow but it is home made, and he shoots very well stil.The Josh wrote:That's not bad, but I'll probably never get one. If I had the money (which I don't ), I'd rather spend it on Lego or on pizza (mmmmm, pizza ).doctorsparkles wrote:I've seen some pretty decent looking bows for 100 bucks.
