For really basic you can go and pick up a fiberglass youth or beginner's bow at many sporting goods stores. I have seen these often for $30-$40 or less if you are lucky. They are durable and easy to use. Sometimes you can find them at pawn shops or thrift stores, as well.<BR>
<BR>
If you want a more period look, there are several wood longbow makers out there that put bows on ebay or sell their goods at events. So long as it meets the poundage limits, any bow is usable so long as it meets the requirements in the Missile Combat Rules listed on the Ansteorran Archery Webpage.<BR>

<DIV>I am looking for a source for a proper bow for basic combat archery. I have found the sites with the arrows, blunts, etc. but am having trouble finding a decent bow for it. Any suggestions?</DIV>
