## Overview

The Rough and Ready English Style Longbow is a high-quality archery tool designed for enthusiasts, featuring a draw weight of 40-45 lbs at a maximum length of 28 inches. Made from durable hickory and linen, this bow is unfinished to provide a cost-effective option without sacrificing quality. It comes complete with a bow stringer and instructions, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced archers alike, all proudly made in the USA.

## Description

This bow is made from hickory wood backed with linen. The handle is wrapped with tape for a smooth grip. It comes ready to shoot and is tillered to a draw weight of 40 to 45 pounds and a maximum draw length of 28 inches. The bow is unfinished and needs to be sealed. This can be accomplished by simply rubbing petroleum jelly on the bow (including the linen backed side) twice per year. One might also opt to finish the bow permanently by sanding and sealing. This is an economical alternative to our already finished bows, offering the same abilities while allowing you to finish it in a fashion of your choosing. A bow stringer and instructions are included. This bow comes with a 1 year warranty. If this bow breaks or does not function properly as a result of manufacturing defects we will replace it free of charge. Made in the USA

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Absolutely amazing. Will buy again.
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2014*

I bought this for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. In fact I absolutely love it. After a little elbow work sanding, staining, sealing and putting a leather grip on myself it turned out to be an amazing bow. So amazing in fact that I'm going to buy myself the 60 pound version of this bow. If you want a good bow to try to use the old-school way this is the way to go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent handmade Bows for an excellent price.
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 5, 2014*

I bought mine several years ago and it's lasted the entire time with hiking, hunting, and shooting at multiple ranges.  And it's weathered all that use and abuse without compromising it's shooting.  A seriously awesome Longbow!
