## Overview

The Rough and Ready English Style Longbow is a high-quality archery tool crafted from durable hickory wood, featuring a draw weight of 25 to 30 pounds and a maximum draw length of 28 inches.

## 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 25 to 30 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good and simple bow
            
*by A***R on March 12, 2011*

I know nothing of bows but I bought this on a whim and because of the price.  This bow is pretty simple.  String it, shoot it, done.  It does the job and feels really good.  It looks good as well.  As for accuracy I can't tell you, I think this is mostly based on you.  My draw is 28" and it feels right when I draw it.  I don't give it five starts because the string was frayed when I got it and broke after 10 shots.  I will be re-stringing it.UPDATE: Changed to 5 stars because the seller was quick to respond and called me directly to send me a new string.  Works great.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely Piece, Would Recommend
            
*by M***W on October 6, 2012*

I bought this bow for my girlfriend's birthday. Sanded it down and rubbed it with Linseed oil myself for her, and it was really the perfect gift idea. She loves it... thinks she's Katniss Everdeen now.The bow is fairly easy to draw, and a reasonably in-shape person should be able to shoot it without too much trouble. Still, it leaves enough challenge for a novice archer.Beautifully and impressively crafted, it is quite the topic of conversation with guests who come over and see it. Worth the price, and would buy again.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect for ren faire costume
            
*by B***N on February 7, 2012*

I bought this bow for my renaissance faire costume as an inexpensive alternative to the other medieval style bows available for purchase. It looks great with my costume, and because it's a real, functioning longbow, it adds an air of authenticity. I did use some fine sandpaper to smooth some of the rough areas, but there were only two or three places that really needed it. I also added a leather hand grip and arrow rest to complete the effect. As is, the hand grip is just black tape. The bow is easy to string, and the 25 lb draw weight is perfect for my weak upper body while still being powerful enough to shoot accurately. I would recommend these bows to anyone who will use them for recreation, such as reenactment and role-play. I don't know how well the bow works for heavy use, but from what I understand, if you have any issues with your bow, the company will work to satisfy the customer.
