Shaw pretty much covered it all. I'll add some ammo to one thing he talked about. Stacking. I have a 29" draw length. I have owned one bow that came in 10 lbs over 28" weight just adding the 1 more inch. It was a Hoyt Gamemaster 2. I hated it. Another guy loved it because the stacking served as a draw stop for him. The best trad bows are purely personal preference. You can spend as little or as much on them as you want. Shaw recommended a 40 pounder. With your draw length, I'd suggest even going lower than that. Maybe even 30lbs. I don't know about longbows but I know with recurves that you can buy risers where you can interchange the limbs. You could buy one riser, get a light set of limbs and work up in weight as you get more use to it. Too heavy a weight in a stick bow will make you have really bad form. Nothing could be worse for a trad shooter than having bad form. When I got my first one, I was shooting 90 lbs on my compound and I could shoot it for hours on end. I shot at least 2 hours every day. That was back in the day that if you wanted ANY speed, you had to shoot really heavy draw weight. I got a 65# Martin Hatfield Takedown. It took every bit of strength I had for me to pull it back to any anchor point. It took me a decade to get over the bad form that I learned from shooting that bow. START LIGHT
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
