English Style Longbows

Traditional archery is a rapidly growing interest to many hunters. Whether to use equipment that poses an extra challenge for the hunter by requiring greater skill or a desire to use the most rustic, pure equipment available or simply to feel a connection to an earlier time, the reasons are as many as the hunters themselves. The costs involved with getting started in traditional archery, like starting in just about every other form of hunting, can cost you just over a hundred dollars or over a thousand, depending upon the equipment. Ideally, the traditional archer wants a handmade bow that is durable yet inexpensive. One such product is the English Style Longbow from woodbows.com

Woodbows.com English Style Longbows are 72 inches in length and up to 1 1/2 inches in width at the handle. They are made of red oak and modeled after those made of white woods, such as Elm or Ash. Historically, these woods were used when Yew wood was not available. Red oak is not as elastic as Yew and requires a slightly different tiller in order to function properly. Because red oak is considerably harder than Yew it does not require horn nocks. The bow can have a draw weight of your choice from 20 pounds to 50 pounds, and a draw length from 24 inches to 30 inches. Woodbows.com has started to back their bows with linen for added strength and durability. All of woodbows.com's products are custom made to your specifications.
