Shoot Heaviest Longbow 240lb

Using my Legs, I shot a Warbow of 240 Pounds @ 32 Inches. Probably the heaviest English Longbow/Ballista. We should make a new official Guinness world record category for footbows. But is this historical archery?

I bought the footbow to make Chinese Han Crossbow
Quad Lam bow - Made of Brazilian Ipe, American Hickory, more Amazonian Ipe and finally Japanese Bamboo (Glued with titebond). Buffalo Horn nocks. Much respect to the Bowyer archerybowman on Ebay.

Using this longbow as prod for Chinese Crossbow project.

Official Archery Guinness World Record
Mark Stretton (UK) drew a longbow weighing 90 kg (200 lb) to the maximum draw on an arrow of 82.5 cm (32 ½ in) at the shooting grounds of The Bath Archers, Somerset, UK on 15 August 2004. The bow was made by Bickerstaffe Bows (UK), of yew wood, backed with hickory. The arrow was made of aspen (poplar) and fired at a target approxiamately 5 yards away from the archer.
