English Longbow - The Reliable Assualt Rifle of the Middle Ages

Basic Longbow and Recurve Set-Up

Test shooting a new laminated English Warbow. This bow still needs it's final sanding and finish. The bow has a belly wood of Osage Orange, and a Hickory back. It's 80lbs at 30". In the video I say that it retained 1.5" of reflex, in reality it's closer to an 1" than 1.5", but I'm still happy with that. It shot a 58 gram red oak arrow over 202 yards, so I'm also happy with that! #fenwickbows #englishlongbow #englishwarbow #bowmaking #bowyer #bowforsale #bowshop #medievalarchery #traditionalarche
