Lat archery class was last night

[Pure Dragon]

That sucks. xP I still don't have much a target so I've not been practicing at all. I still haven't googled whether the range at the park is free to use.

Hey there Aereo! I'll post your form up in the member's list. ^^

[harlical]

thank you :'D
soo. does anyone else use a longbow? i have a forest green bear longbow, and it's awesome. appartently it's the most difficult of the four types of bows to learn, though.

[Ashbreeze]

Na, I don't use a long bow. X3 I use a recurve. What's it like though?

[harlical]

yeah, recurve bows are alot more common it seems. a longbow is, as the name suggests, alot longer and is in the shape of a D. you don't have an arrow support on it, so you rest the tip on the handle [at least, that's what i do] i learned on a recurve and I must say, a longbow is alot harder to shoot, but hey, the challenge is a welcome. helps you get better :D

[Pure Dragon]

So, you hold the bow parallel to the ground? Or rest the arrow on the bow and held up by your hand?
