Long Bow

The Long Bow from Epic Armoury is a reliable and sturdy LARP bow. The bow of legend. The same kind that Robin Hood and most of the English Army put into good use back in the ‘olden day’. Whereas a recurve bow is fast and powerful, the longbow will let your arrow fly straighter and much longer. So, whenever it is more advantageous to launch your attack from a distance, rely on your loyal Long Bow.

Made of wood and fiberglass, this impressive bow has an authentic medieval look and can be used by both right- and left-handed warriors. It is inspired by the traditional medieval English Yew longbow and gives the genuine sensation of a time when skillful Yeowmen used to win wars for their King.

This LARP bow has an appealing light wood finish, and its fiberglass tips are black. The grip is covered in laced-up genuine leather for additional comfort. Whether you are aiming to hit bullseye on the target or taking down a foe from afar, this fiberglass and wood longbow is a great weapon for any LARP fighter to have at hand.

The draw weight of this bow is approximately 27 lb/13 kilograms/448 oz. measured with a 28" shaft. Dacron string is included with the bow. As this item is made from natural materials, please note that appearance can vary slightly from what is shown, and the draw weight can vary by up to 3 pounds above or below the listed amount.

History

• Yew is a type of tree and is typically regarded as the best type of wood for making longbows
• The archers from the King’s own household were termed the Yeomen of the Crown. They were specially trained and rightly considered the elite even among the experienced archers

Do not shoot the bow without an arrow. Remove string from the bow when not in use. Keep away from extreme heat or direct sunlight. Use beewax to preserve the bowstring. Do not self-repair the bow.
