was just wondering anyone can tell me were i can find the stuff i need to upgrade my longbow smithing aint up there yet to get the top one

A longbow can be upgrade for using a "leather".Also you need a better smith skill.Hope i helped.

I'm pretty sure you only need a leather strip, I could be wrong though.

hmm i thought it said sumite like firewood or sumit wiull double check

If you need firewood, you can easily get that in Riverwood.
Just chop some wood there near the sawmill. Youll need a woodcutting axe.

tidy cheers everybody for quick replys

You can upgrade stuff? I can't believe I've gotten to lvl 39, and have totally blown off all those blacksmith places. I can't believe I actually admitted this to everyone I'm so ashamed! Truth is I work about 9 hours a day plus 3 hour commute round trip, so only get to play for an hour or so each night, and use that time to wander around, explore, do a quest here and there... next thing I know, I'm maxed out on sneak, in the 90s on archery, can yell at people causing them to fly back about a city block (man I could use that ability IRL) ... but haven't really even scratched the surface of this game. But now you've opened up a whole new world to me and I'm going to go learn about the different skills tonight! Thanks! Glad I joined these boards! LOL!

Yeah, according to http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Long_Bow it requires firewood to upgrade. Go figure.
