Got your heavy duty weapon bookmarked for Self Bow of the Month. I'd certainly call it a war bow.

I have made many yew longbows and I say - great wood and perfect job , longbow can not be  better. But horn nocks are for me here  necessary  8)

The guy has his bow and there were no problems this time.  Needless to say I did not use UPS but Canada Post instead.

Beautiful yew longbow. I am sure that it would have been used in a number of mediaeval wars whether they called it a warbow or not.

Thanks guys.  Seems to be more people are wanting to shoot bows such as these.  Too much for me and my shoulders  :)
