Longbow thoughts?

Longbow thoughts?

Galaxy Black Ridge 70\" Longbow

I am thinking about getting this Galaxy Black Ridge 70'' Longbow. I started out archery with a Korean traditional bow, using thumbdraw. Recently I moved and was unable to bring my Korean bow, however in my new location I am getting back into archery at a club where recurve and compound bows are mainly used. I wanted to get a new bow that I could use for both western style draw with three fingers and thumbdraw. I am 6'3ft (191 cm) and prefer longer style bows. So far with my old Korean bow I've shot about 35-40 pound trad. Korean bows so I was thinking getting 40 or 45 pounds again for this longbow.

My questions:
Is this a suitable bow for both styles of shooting (thumb/western draw)?

Are there any things I should be particularly aware of with longbows?

Is my poundage choice suitable?

And finally, I also need some arrows to go along with this but I have absolutely no clue where to start with all the options. Apart from probably needing arrows on the longer side.

I appreciate all thoughts and comments.
