Long Bow Maker Wanted

[sealevel]

your wrong mr sealeval there is only one true longbow and thats a english longbow made from yew! there may be simmilar bows made by differant nations but they arent traditional english longbows

Moose turds Thats only from an englishmans eyes .

the longbow is still held in high regard in english history up there with the spitfire, many have tried to copy it none have beaten it

some people have a problem with the fact that england achieved many things in history, the longbow happens to be one of them if it werent for the longbow they would not have one so many battles ,

I watched a show on the history channel about some of the battles they won with the longbow... One battle in particular where they fought the french legend would have it that several thousand archers defeated a legion of french nobles. They recreated the battle and after testing with several long bows figured out there was no way the arrows would penetrate the french armor... The french were defeated because it rained so hard the battlefield was mud... The french in their heavy armor couldn't manouever well and the english kicked their a$$. NOT with the bow though - hand to hand!

Hey daniel , The holmgaard (sp)bow found in the bogs of denmark I think predates the english longbow and is a more effective design ....

what is fact is that if it were not for the english longbow we all probably would not be speakin in english right know because the longbow was a huge factor in warfare in its day like the spitfire , the .303british to name but a few. with the right arrow heads it could easily pierce its enemies armour from far greater ranges than its oponents could manage. it was easily built with fairly quick manufacture which helped during wartime and what made it such an awesome weopen

talk about a hijacked thread eh? this has turned into an argument of who invented the first longbow, which is an unwinable argument by the way.
