Longbow

Longbows are the icon of traditional bows. Longbows are considered easier to draw as the longer length disperses the bow weight over a larger area making it draw smooth back to most draw lengths. Today’s longbows use a reflex/deflex design for performance that is a match or better than today’s recurve bows and a laminated designs and the best of the Longbow archers score alongside those scores expected of barebow archers.
