How many feet per second does a longbow shoot?
It really depends on the draw weight and weight/type of arrows used, but a speed of about 150-190 feet/sec can be expected from most longbows.
What is the draw weight of a anchery bow?
"Draw weight" is a measure of the strength required to draw a bow as well as the force it imparts on the arrows it shoots. It is usually measured in pounds.

Is 150 pounds a lot of draw strength on a Crossbow for a kid do you really have to pull 150 pounds or is 150 pounds a mesurment for force or something?
150 lbs is 150 pounds of draw weight, in a bow I would say that you'd need a brear of a person to wield it. Fortunately, it is a crossbow you are talking about, but that is still too much for a child to draw. Try using a bow with less draw weight and let them build up strength so they can use a stronger crossbow when they are older.
What does draw weight mean when referring to bows?
Draw weight is the power the arrow is loosed at. Bows with more draw weight like long bows require very strong people to handle. The better the draw weight the further/harder the arrow flies eg: Arrows peircing chainmail... Hope this was the answere you were looking for. Enjoy...
What is the spine weight on an arrow?
The spine of an arrow is not expressed in "weight" - it is the bow's pulling power that is expressed as a weight figure. The arrows must suit this weight.Any bow takes a certain amount of force to draw back to the normal shooting position (usually with the string touching the chin and nose); this force is measured in x number of pounds - my own ash longbow is lighteweight at just 45 pounds draw weight.In order for the arrows to fly true, they must have a certain amount of flexibility ("spine") to match the draw weight of the bow - if they are too flexible they will shoot off to the right, if too stiff they will go left of the target. This is due to the so-called "archer's paradox" where the arrow first bends itself around the bow handle and then continues to fly straight.
What are the disadvantages of using a longbow?
There are a few. Firstly and probably the most profound is the fact that compared to a compound or a recurve the weight that you hold on your draw is that of the bow. A compound you hold virtually nothing and a re-curve you hold 2/3 of the weight. Therefore if you don't hold your bow correctly and you haven't practiced and have the muscle memory going the effects of your shoots will vary. Shooting with the same stance and draw and repeating is the key to consistency with a longbow. However there are great advantages to a longbow. The range on the longbow is far greater than other bows. And the consistency of the power does not drop off during the shot making the shots more powerful over a distance. The first month of shooting is the hardest learning to feel your bow. As a longbowman you will not be able to hold the weight on the string for to long there for instinct plays a huge role feeling your shots. When you release you will get a feeling it will hit the middle and it does you have to train that feeling and it just happens.
What was a longbow?
A longbow is a type of bow that is tall (roughly equal to the height of the person who uses it); this will allow its user a fairly long draw, at least to the jaw (the average length of the Mary Rose arrowshafts is 75 cm/30 in).
What is the difference between a hunting bow and a target bow?
There is actually no real difference between a "longbow" and a "bow", since a longbow is simply a type of bow. There are many types of bows, as used in archery, and each type includes various sub-types: Longbow; Recurved; Flatbow; Shortbow; Reflex/Deflex; Compound; Crossbow; etc. While some people believe that a longbow must be made for the specific height of the particular person who will be using it, the only things that makes a bow a "longbow" are that it is normally (but not always) longer in length (nock to nock) than a recurved bow of a comparable draw-weight; the limbs are normally not very wide when compared to a flatbow of comparable draw-weight; and that when "braced" (when the string is installed on the bow) the string does not touch any part of the bow except at the nocks (the grooves the string sits in at the very ends of the bow's limbs). A "longbow" does not have to be six feet long to be usable by a person who is 6 feet tall. In fact, a "longbow" can technically be almost any length, so long as it meets the above three requirements. The Samick "Raider" Longbow is an example of a longbow that is "short" in length (it is only 60-inches in length), and when un-braced it resembles a recurved bow, due to its Reflex/Deflex design. But when braced, the string touches only the nocks, which makes the bow a Longbow.
