While many older bows are very collectible, some others are of little value.  You can take your bow to an archery shop that you trust and ask them what they belive the value of the bow to be.  Another option would be to find and antiques dealer, shop or appraiser that that trades in bows and get an idea of the bows value. As a last resort when tring to price an item. I'll search EBay for a simaler item and use that as a guide.  Ebay prices are typicaly lower than you may recieve in a local sale.  Good Luck!!

If you are looking to get another bow, find the feaures you want and try to find a place that will take it in trade. You'll still have to pay some. I have three bows. I don't sell or trade them, just get another.

Please do yourself and your husband a favor and take him to a large sporting goods store such as Cabelas or Gander Mountain.  Talk to the salesmen there...they are very knowledgeable and can fit him with the bow and get the proper sized arrows.  It all has to match otherwise he won't be able to hit the broad side of a barn door with it.  If you want it to be a surprise then get him a gift card for one of the above mentioned stores.  There are just too many personal choices to make for someone to buy a bow for someone else.

An Archery range or Bow shop\n\nIf you are a kid ask your parents if you can go to a summer camp this summer.\n\nSee if there is a SCA (Society for Creayive Anachronism - medieval reenactment) group on your area - you have agood chance of someone who is able to at least give you the basics

I used to shoot Oneida bows.  They are very smooth drawing bow as they have no cams.  They did tend to have some bad blow ups when they did go bad.  BAd limbs for  awhile, might have corrected it by now.  Nothing wrong with Oneida good idea that never really caught on.

I actually helped build one last year as part of a ritual. We did the whole thing in one day. It was a LOT of work. You need many people to help you.\nWe went out into the woods and cut down straight 20-25' saplings that didn't fork. I think 24 trees total were cut. At the base of each an offering was left.  The saplings were then peeled (that was my job and it took forever).\nThere had already been a Temascal in that location so there was already a fire pit dug inside and another larger bonfire outside (for heating rocks). (We set the old Temascal on fire and used it to heat the rocks for the first sweat in the new one.)\nThe saplings have to reach from one side of the circle, up about 4 feet in the center and then back down.  It took two or three big guys to bend and hold each sapling while another held it against the opposite tree at the other end and yet another tied it in place.  This was just repeated until all the saplings were tied. A few of them were also woven a bit to make the structure stronger.\nA couple of smaller saplings were bent over to make the archway for the entrance.\nThe rounded structure was then piled with tarps and blankets until completely covered and no light could get in.  Whatever dragged on the ground was held down with rocks along the edges--old rocks that were "dead" from already being used in the fire.  \nWhew. I'm tired just remembering it.\nI probably left something out. Contact me through my 360 page, my email or my IM for more info.  I can also put you in touch with the gentleman whose house I was at building it.  He has Aztec and native elders there a couple of times a year for rituals and learning and he also travels the world with these elders and goes to Mexico for the Sun Dance every July. So he knows way more than me (and I'm no slouch).\nI think I might have some photos too, somewhere on my hard drive, of us building it.\nSpellcheck not working, sorry for any errors.

My best advice is to do your homework,  comparing features of similar bows and maybe trying a few of them in a store so that you can have a hands on feel for them.   After you know what you want you may feel comfortable spending a little more and be able to search for the best possible deal for that make/ model bow.  Bass Pro Shops has some combos as low as $220 including  a quiver, 3 pin fiber optic sight and an arrow rest made by PSE or a BROWNING combo with arrows for as low as $230 both meeting your criteria for draw length and weight.   I'll post a link to see those bows as well as a link to a comparrison chart from HUNTER'S FRIEND.  Just scroll to the bottom of the page to the CHART NAVIGATION AREA and select YOUTH/SHORT- DRAW BOWS.  You be able to see different brands and characteristics like draw lenght and wt. and suggested retail price and that may help you find what you are looking for in a bow and maybe searching for those brands online or elsewhere for the best possible  price.   Good luck.

I don't think you can use a crossbow on birds, but a longbow or compound bow can be used to take game birds in season.  A special type of fletching (feathers at nock end of shaft) called "flu-flu" radically slows arrow flight after 20 yards or so resulting in fewer lost arrows from shooting into the air.  Also a good safety feature for the same reason.  Use a wide rubber blunt tip to hunt with rather than a field point (practice) or broadhead (big-game hunting).  These kill with blunt force trauma and not blood loss or vital organ penetration.  Some bird points also have thin stiff wire loops sticking out to the side to ensnare the bird.  Check your local regulations as to seasons and weapons usage, though.  There is a famous video of Fred Bear (Bear Archery Founder) bagging rooster pheasants with a longbow.  Hope this helps.  Good hunting.

a long time ago men used to make the bow for arrow shooting out of a yew branch. when they were at war with their enemy the y could shoot really well. so the enemy said that they would cut off the finger of all the archers when they caught them. \n     When you shoot a bow and arrow you pluck the string of the bow with your fingers. the archers called it pluking the yew. when ever they saw the enemy they would show them their middle finger and yell "pluck Yew"
