what wood to use
JackCrafty:
White Birch is VERY good for arrows. Actually, any birch is good for arrows. If you have yellow birch, I would try some of it for a bow, but I don't think it would be good for a 100lb longbow.
Pat B:
You probably have red osier dogwood for arrows and maybe one or two of the viburnums for arrows. Maybe even hazelnut.

Marc St Louis:
You would be better to look for some Elm as it will make a better warbow than Hickory
