Im currently having a longbow made for me, by my archery tutor. I already have a recurve bow, which Ive been shooting for about a year now, but I have always wanted a longbow. Anyway... its at the stage, when the wood will be bent soon, then pretty soon after all the finishing touches will be made. However... before it is varnished, I have the option to "decorate" it.... and I would like to put some elvish writing on it. You all are much better at recalling phrases than me... but can you think of anything that would be appropriate to put on a traditional longbow  (the only one that springs immediately to mind is... Leithio i philinn !!) |

be about 2/3 weeks before its finished ... at the moment, its not behaving with the bending... so it needs training! lol!
My recurve bow draws 32lbs... so I think the longbow will be drawing a similar amount.

well, 32lbs is quite high for a lady.. the men draw more.. but you have to get a weight that you can manage to draw for a few hours!
