Starter Long Bow?

[RKenney]

I'm thinking about buying a long bow. What would be a good one
to get started with, at a reasonable price range. I used to be
a fairly good instinctive bow shooter, so I'm interested in
getting back to that. I used a recurve back in the early 70's,
but I think a long bow would be really neat and rewarding.

RK, there are SO MANY different models, it is hard to say which would be the first to start off with. my suggestion is to see if there is a trad archery shoot near you and see if you can try out some to see which one you like first. one of the worse things is to get one that isnt RIGHT for you and you get fustrated and give up.
you might check the classifieds on some of the trad sights.
