Got the DVD yesterday Ben, many thanks, watched the start a few minutes ago, great soundtrack, I love the Travelling Wilburys, will watch the rest tonight with my son. He went on a 4 day trip to the mountains north of here with school last week and they went horseriding and had archery lessons which he loved so I guess I´ll be buying two bows !! He was using a longbow, he is 13 years old, any suggestions, Ben, Daryl et al ? best, Mike

Good stuff, Mike! One of the lads in my class got hooked on archery, and Craig Ekin of Howard Hill Archery made him a perfect longbow to suit his build and strength. Craig has a prompt turn-around time, too. And he can make wooden arrows to suit a longbow. Sorry, I'm not sure what compound bows suit young blokes, but I bet the Lancaster Archery guys could help, if that's the direction your son wanted to go. Let me know what his preferences are, and I might be able to suggest a couple of things. Have fun!

Mike:
I will second Ben on the Hill bows, I've shot them for 30 years and Craig is just a couple miles from me and makes a great bow with a short turn around time. A coumpound bow is easier to learn, however I think he will get more enjoyment from the longbow, with wooden arrows.
