Eric,The manufacturer recommends to:
"...recommend taking the string off the bow after shooting it and making sure that the proper twist is on the string before it is put back on."
They also did not specify any known protective coating for the wood, other than what the bow has already been constructed of.

A:
While I agree that the minimum responsible poundage when hunting with a longbow is 45-50 pounds, you need to keep this rule of thumb in mind. When going from a compound to traditional equipment, take the compound draw weight and subtract 20 lbs. The reasons for this are: 1. Most compound shooters shoot a bow that is too heavy anyway...just watch someone point the bow almost straight up while they draw to understand that. 2. The longbow has no let-off so you will be holding the full poundage at full draw. Most people new to traditional archery will pick a bow that is too heavy and get discouraged when their grouping is erratic and loose. Go lighter than you think you need to go. You will understand why after about 20 shots or so. Draw weight with traditional equipment is not about bragging rights or toughness. It is the absolute factor in getting consistant, ethical shots on target.
A:
well Mike, that's hard to answer because with a compound you may draw 55 lbs at mid draw but a full draw it my be less than10lbs. With a recurve or longbow you'll be pulling 55lbs at full draw. The minimum poundage for big game hunting with a traditional bow will be 45-50lbs. I'd look into something along the lines of that.Answers

if i order a 45lb. bow and that is at 28", what would the draw weight be at about 22-25"?
Answers
A:
Your going to lose about 3 pounds for every inch you lose on your draw length. so a 45 pound bow at 25 inches of draw length would make it about 36 pounds, less if your draw length is shorter. Hope that helps.Answers

What XX75 aluminum arrow shaft to you recommend with a 50-pound longbow with a 30-inch draw?
Answers

A:
I have this bow. Easton recommends the Legacy model specifically for a longbow in a 2018 for the 30 inch at 50 lbs and a 2016 for 29 inch at 50 lbs. I use the 2018 because it is a heavier arrow which is great for hunting. They stabilize fast and I have been extremely happy with them. They are strong. I have this bow in a 50 lb. model and had a complete pass-thru on a wood fence. The shaft did not bend and the fletching did not mess up at all. Plus, the wood grain print really looks nice. So again, go with the Easton Legacy Arrows in 2018.Answers
A:
