I wish I could! Yew doesn't grow around here and its shitload expensive to get. Best yew is bought from vendors from Pyrenees, Apennines and some part of England.
But I am starting to get into "meanewoods". These are non-yew English longbows. Welsh people liked those in the history.
Regarding draw, this is a brutal training and not really accessible to all. Those with money today buy bows starting from let's say 90 pounds, than the next one would be 110 pounds and so on. Basically you need many bows over the years, each being about 10 to 20 pounds heavier than the previous one. In my case, I would have to make these bows. A bit over the top. One of my current projects is hawthorn English longbow but with light pull of about 60 to 70 pounds.
I am mostly focusing on flatbows and using instinctive shooting. My datasheet soon will focus on building a flatbow. Be patient
