Incorporating 'Amaranth' English longbows.
Based in Somerset, England, I've specialised in making bespoke traditional archery equipment for over 30 years.
I prefer to discuss the archer's individual requirements face-to-face before agreeing an order, my bows are not available 'off the shelf'.
NOTE: 'English' Longbows specification
My bows are made in accordance with the British Long-Bow Society Specification regarding limb section and drawn profile.
(See HERE for specifications from the main archery organisations.)
They will therefore comply with the requirements of all societies.
