ENGLISH LONGBOWS
Made to British Long-Bow Society specification with the correct high stacked 'D' section
'Amaranth' English longbows are made to the British Long-Bow Society specification, with horn nocks and the prescribed 'STACKED D' section.
Several important stages in building the stave, and careful training to bend ensure these laminated longbows are a good combination of speed and shootability.
A 'fitting' service is included to ensure the correct drawlength, bow length etc is chosen.
Custom made triple laminate longbows
My bows are made to suit the archer's drawlength and shooting style, whether you are a target, field or flight archer -or all three.
You can enjoy most styles of competition with a longbow!
Pictured are longbows just before final test shooting and polishing, all bows are tested through a chronograph.
