The Archeress says G'day
Archeress:
G'day all. My names Kelly, i am from Australia, perfect one day..brilliant the next. Um anyway i have been shooting natural for 4 of my 7 archery years. Not long i know but its one piece to the puzzle that is me.
I have been fascinated by warbows and 100 years war and anything medieval really. At present i am target shooting with a 70 pound Elm. But thats my "FUN" bow. For some SERIOUS fun i practice with a 110 greenheart and bamboo longbow.
Also working in a 127 pound alpine Yew. Oh yeahhhhh. I shoot off the hand with no protection, i mean well thats just for girls...oh wait..thats me lol. I have had a history of weight lifting, kayaking and canoeing. ok so not all technique but partial brute strength. i would like to think my target weight will one day be at least 140..maybe..lofty ambitions so i will keep plugging away. If i dont make it then i dont.
Warbowing is my first love and then single wood longbows. If you give me a compound i shall show you how far i can throw it.
I belong to a 14th century re-enactment group called "Knights Order of Lion Rampant" I practice most days and love my 3D shooting.

You go, girl! And a big welcome to PA. ;D I saw your video and been reading the Warbow section and you have my respect. The only time I tried a full draw on a Warbow was a 90# made by PatB. I might have got a few pounds more but not much. I hope to see more of your post on here.
adb:
Welcome aboard! Anyone, male or female, that can pull 110# has my instant respect.

Not 'cher ordinary Sheila, are ya? With an introduction like that half the guys in this forum are dragging their tongues and the other half haven't logged on yet!
Not surprised that you mention that you practice daily. In order to pull bows of that weight effectively it has to become a lifestyle. The Tommies figured that out hundreds of years ago, much to the chagrin of the Froggies.
