Sorry for the late reply, I had to wait for the new computer...It is, I'm all into historic archery actually. Even if my longbow wasn't the most historic in the market currently, meaning it has an arrow rest and a pistol grip. But that's just my first bow, it's a start. And I so want to get a good horse bow, as well as a historic longbow. That shooting on the hand kind of interests. I've only once tried it with a horse bow shooting three arrows, nice bows those even if wobbly.Also, because you get to bend wood, real wood and the longbows/horse bows are so weightless. I only wish my feet were longer, or my bow smaller so I could sling it over the shoulder...
