Spent some time last evening outside practicing my cordage making from milkweed while the youngest practiced with his bow. Overall a very good time.

I'm looking to pick up archery with the kids. Are there any bow types you'd recommend over others for getting started? I feel drawn to the Japanese and Mongolian styles I've come across.
His bow is one that I made from a piece of pvc pipe with a fiberglass rod inside for stiffness. It actually shoots really well, has about a 20 pound draw weight. It's great for him to learn on.
Selfbows that I've made in the past have typically been in the style of plains Indian bows. Fairly short and light. I really like the look of the Mongolian style bows but don't have any experience with them.
