What is a longbow?
The longbow is one of the oldest and simplest forms of bow, having been used for centuries. It is characterized by its long, straight shape, without the pronounced curve found in other bow types. Originally developed for combat and hunting, shooting a longbow requires both power and precision. Traditionally, longbows were made from yew wood, while modern variants use laminated wood strips and other materials to improve stability and performance. The simple construction requires the archer to use instinctive target acquisition and no assistance from technical aids such as sights or stabilizers. This makes the longbow both a challenging tool and a connection to the historical tradition of archery.
