Thank you all for your replies, some who were very helpfull. The site about Legolas was great!

My problem is that I'm living in the far north of Norway, the nature is stunnning, but there are not many (none) archery-clubs or bow-shops around. So I have to rely on the information I find on the web.

My biggest question is what kind of bow I'm going to buy. The most likely is a longbow or a recurve. What are the pros and cons? Which draw weight should I choose? Any other useful information I should take into consideration before buying a bow?
I am a tall guy at 187cm (6"2) and in good shape so I guess most bows fit.

Remember I'm a beginner who never have had a shot with a real bow.
