Going to the NLHF and TORM, just down the road, so maybe see you there and put a face to a name eh fellah? ;)
Cheers,

Great answers there for you Atla'. until i have la 127 at full draw then the only bow i have for clout is the 110. obviously wont get any distance records so wont even try..yes as i said..just a simple arc to loose will suffice...i have seen those do the rolling loose in that vid (fior the love of the english bow) and you can see they are trying to muster extra distance. for me, clout is going to be my first time in a couple weeks so its all about experimentation...i simply have not had the room to do anything oother than horizontal targets at no more than 45 metres
Now where would a girl max out?. dunno but i think i took a guy called max out once. long time ago..another story. For me i am thinking 140 will be maxed out...not sure why but perhaps age and bone density may have something to do with it...i have left my run too late i think..oh if only i had this interest in my 20's..ahh to dream.
I know what is said about technique and strength and percentages but you still need to be strong to do this. I have genetics on my side perhaps..great bone structure and a history of kayaking and weightlifting..yes i know weightlifting wont make you a great warbow archer but it goes a bit towards it. My technique is not always the best as i have much to learn ..i do ok but with correct technique i could no doubt have my beast back to full 32 inch draw

I'm on the high strength end for the ladies I know, but I don't want to injure anything with heavy weight that will keep me from shooting for a while. I enjoy doing it every day way too much for that. But I'm young enough that I think it's something reasonable to attempt at some point.
Archeress:
To put my technique into perspective, no holds barred.
At 80 to 110 pound bows i have a pretty good technique that i am comfortable with.
due to the sheer cost of yew bows being made for me i cant just keep going up in 5 pound increments. hence my big bloody yew bow. so my technique with this yew bow is ghastly. i am over compensating because of the sheer weight..trying to put too much effort into it and the end result is my body going backwards as i draw the string backwards. not good at all. however i have started to put into practice some basic hints provided by Mr G. Carney esquire who managed to pick apart about 10 points of my "technique" i was angry and upset at first..but thought deeply about his comments..I also have a new friend in Ian coote and a couple others chatting to me regular and i like thier advice.
the hardest thing for me and others here in australia is that we have no teachers..not like in england..we are all self taught and use you tube a lot. so any guidance from the old dart is music to my ears.
