Go to a trad only shoot where there are vendors at, and any of them will be able to size up a bow for you, and more than willing to let you shoot one of theirs. That way you can try out lots of different kinds, not to mention, pert near everyone at a trad event will allow you to shoot their bow. To me, it's an honor if someone asks to shoot mine. I see your in Ohio, next weekend, we are having the Great Lakes Longbow Invitational (GLLI) in Hasting, MI and there will be plenty of vendors there, and I'm sure a few used bows will be floating around too. If you are going to come along, look me up. I'll get you aquainted with the place and people.
