The Canadian Warbow Society

[Agincourtwarbow]

Greetings Gents!
I feel it is time to finally announce the foundation of the Canadian Warbow Society on PA.
If you are interested,our website is up at: www.canadianwarbowsociety.com. The CWBS is run by a group of four founding members; Scott Spears, Karl Malmstrom, Gerry Lee (Secretary/Treasurer), and myself, Jake Fenwick (Chairman). If there are any out there interested, all information and member requirements are on the website, and if you have any questions, please let me know at my email Agincourtwarbow@hotmail.com

The CWBS has close ties with the mother society the English Warbow Society and plans to be affiliated shortly.

 The Canadian Warbow Society is a group of like-minded individuals who practice the shooting and the making of the great English Warbow, War arrows, and tackle. Our goal is to perpetuate the heritage of the English Warbow, and introduce the study and practice of this weapon to our shores.

The CWBS encourages warbowyery, fletching, string making and arrow head forging, as well as shooting technique practices.

We practice Roving, Clout, Distance Shooting, Armour Penetration, Wand Shooting and Shooting at the Butts. We shoot historically accurate heavy weight English Warbows based on those found on the Mary Rose.

 

Cheers,

-Jake

Thats great! It doesnt seem so long ago that the EWBS first started.It's good to see other societys in other nations taking the history of these bows/archers so seriesly,the more people shooting these bows the more we learn.

You know what, finding a location on the boarder so you can shoot over the state line would be cool.

[MetisLifeguard]

That would actually be a really cool idea Ian! Any ideas of where a nice big farm may be for that?
