Hey Stonedog your not alone I've been doing living history for over 27 yearsI've gone full circle from World War II, World War I, American Civil War and American Revolutionary war and now doing what I started doing when I was 17 years old but this time I've put down the big five Howard Hill Longbow and started making bows and historical arrows from scratch.
I've been experimenting with historical arrow's designs like barrelled and big chested and shooting chain mail with botkins tips and types 16 Broadhead's to demonstrate how easy arrows could penetrate chain mail as part of my living history display.
My living history impression like you were all wool and handwoven linen I per tray a 15th-century English bowmen I focus on one year and time 1471 during the wars of the roses.
I have been working a kit myself out from pictures of 15th-century artwork it have been specializing on the small things that an archer had of the Times, like animal grease horn and leather arrow discs.
If I had some technical skills I would post images of some of the things that I'm doing but I can't figure this thing out.

Hi people. I used to visit the englishwarbow forum before it closed down. Nice to see some familiar names here. I'm not really a warbow shooter as I can't pull bows that heavy, but I hope to one day.

Just kidding! Keep practicing Simon just like me you will be up to 100# in a year or two. My problems getting the time to go out and shoot and make bows. I lement the day I started my own buisness. Seems like I'm always working!!!
All I want to do is shoot my bow all day! Sounds like a song I know.

I think once a week is enough for building bow pulling power. It gives your body time to recover. Kill 'em and rest 'em.
