or a englidh longbow, but you have to be good to shoot one of these, I think a good one has a 75lb. draw weight.
Heh, actually, the English Longbowman generally carried a bow with a draw-weight of double that. I have trouble pulling back a 60lb. bow, just think of what 150lbs. would be! However, the Longbowman was trained from the time he could stand to be the best archers on the planet.
