A bow and arrow

Unlike Sir. Foust I like to use the weapon we all know as a bow and arrow...
Now there are two different kinds, a compound and a long bow...
I do suggest using a compound thought,
Now this is a site that will help you find a compound just for you...
www.cabelas.com
Also if you are younger in your youth try looking at the youth bows
Their Smaller and easier to use also they are less money and a very good starting bow that comes with arrows.
Here's some information for your compound bow but don't worry if you're also looking for a Long bow I'll put some in formation up for that to 

Now these are the simple steps for using a compound...

1. Nock the arrow. Place the tail of the arrow firmly into the grip fingers on the string. Rest the body of the arrow on the ledge provided on the frame of the bow.
   
   
2. 2
   Attach the release mechanism. Make sure that the release mechanism wrist support is firmly and comfortably on the wrist of the bow arm. Clip the release mechanism to the thin loop of rope that extends back from the grip fingers on the string.
   
3. 3
   Break the bow over. Breaking the bow over will require a considerable pull which should be performed with the arrow pointing down.
   
4. 4
   Raise the bow to the firing position. With the help of the release mechanism, pull the string back until it is at the jaw of the archer.
   
5. 5
   Aim the arrow. Relax physically and mentally; then point the arrow at the target.
   
6. 6
   Begin the release. The release mechanism will have either a thumb trigger or a finger trigger. Thumb release mechanisms are preferred by target shooters. Thumb releases are designed not to push down with the thumb, but rather to squeeze the entire hand. Finger triggers are commonly used by hunters. Start squeezing slowly and steadily.
   
7. 7
   Execute a surprise release. Avoid the temptation to rapidly squeeze the hand or jab with the finger. This will cause the bow assembly to jerk. Concentrate on keeping the arrow trained at the target while gently and steadily squeezing. The arrow will fire when everything comes into place, rather than at the precise moment of deciding to shoot. This type of release is called the surprise release. It is the most effective way to make sure that the arrow is aimed properly at the time of release.

These are the steps I use...
Now for a long bow,

The steps are almost the same...
This bow is cheaper and the kind I use..
Because in my era we don't have compound (I recently invented it)

These are a few photos to help you understand more.

Thank you and please consider that a bow and arrow is a lot of amusement 

Enjoy,
