Hi everyone,
I've been given a composite lemonwood/yew longbow for Xmas (looks like a really nice one- good condition etc). The guy my dad bought it from says it hasnt been used for a few years, and so should be 'broken in' again gradually. I figure I should perhaps keep it strung for a bit each day before I attempt to shoot it - are there any archers out there with any thoughts on how long I should do this before I can start shooting, storage conditions etc? Any contributions of knowledge welcome. Happy New Year Aaron
