ALRIGHT. So. I'm going to buy a bow off of ebay. Sweet, right?
I'm looking at this thing and it's a longbow. 58" hickory 35# * 26". Now I look at it and say, sweet! 35 pounds straight out of the box. Awesome. But then I see the 26 inches and now I'm not so sure.
I think it's okay, but I've never tested/worked with bows before. I've read the BOW and it says, The maximum poundage for a bow is 35 pounds at 28 inch draw.
Now I might be overthinking this or being a complete retard, but is this thing good to buy? I'm going to assume the measly 2 inches from 28" makes the thing even more safe, and thus, even more awesome.
Alright, sorry. I know there's already two questions about bows here, but there is no archery forum!
Thanks a ton,

EDIT: Relevant question..

This thing. It's cheap, has slightly good reviews. I want to buy it.
Problem is, I don't even know -what- it is. The customer reviews say it's a,"Recurve Longbow." ..IS that allowed? At all?
EDIT EXTRA:
So I bought it. The poundage is, well. In the legal range. Good.
40 dollars isn't to bad if the thing happens to turn into a pile of crap the moment I fire it. So, how about this then,
What kind of bow would -you- recommend?
