Sir Rodney:
Check out Grey Goose Bows.
Cameron Christian-Weir is a local guy who is very active in the SCA scene and teaches longbow making classes at many MN / WI events. He’s a straight shooter (pun intended) and a hell of a great guy.

while not in use de-string your bow.
no arrow rests or leather hand guards should be on your bow. horn tips on for certain time frames.

Sir Wolf is correct. However, if you laminate the yew with a lacquer, it keeps the moisture out of it due to climatic conditions that cause the warping.
Sir Ulrich:
I am waiting on the bow until I find one affordable one thats laminated possibly hand made as well. My friend has a few bow crafters he knows so I am gonna check out his stuff too. I actually just ordered an english knight's tunic so I can play him as his "saxon noble" self as well though it's cotton not linen it's something I wanted for a while. I plan to have 2 parts for this kit the "saxon noble" part and the "outlaw" part.
