but there are loads of apples outside, I think this weekend I have to do something about them.

I have my eye on a particular Yew tree branch
I would love to make a proper long bow

You'll need a big branch
A proper longbow cross section includes heartwood and sapwood, one's better in tension, the other's better in compression (buggered if I know which is which). IIRC a longbow was made from a split stave from the tree.

Have you been googling again Cap?
I would love to be able set a longbow with a draw weight of 90–110 pounds-force (400–490 newtons)
