A riders bow! Your opinion?

[Virilis]

Hehe. This thread is particularly intresting for me, as one who is looking to buy a first bow in the next few months. This bow would be used for reenactment (Comitatus), maybe next year, i'm not sure when i'd be ready to participate in a show. I've been looking at a few (with the help of John Conyard) mostly Hunnic ones. Forgot to mention, this would be Horse Archery.

I can recommend a 40 pound bow tops (perhaps a 30 pounder would be perfect?) for horse archery. Grozers scythian or avar models coud be good choices perhaps? They are affordable, easy to handle on horseback (short) and fast to shoot with. Heavier bows reguire a more standing position and some "wriggling" of the body which is not possible (or anyway much more difficult) on horseback...
