The bow is similar to those recovered from the Mary Rose, a warship that sank in 1545. The Warbow is 76 inches long, with draw lengths available up to 32 inches. While bows from the Mary Rose pulled up to 150 pounds, this bow is offered with a draw weight of up to 50 pounds. The bow is made from select Red Oak backed with linen. The limbs are tillered slightly wider than the original. As with warbows of that day, there is no handle wrap but rather a small indentation to indicate hand placement.

Our War Bow does not have an arrow rest, but is a shoot off the hand style bow. A bow stringer and instructions are included. The bow is permanently finished and requires no maintenance, other than regular care and proper storage. This bow is great for target practice, SCA events, Hunting and Archery competitions, certain events and hunting laws may require specific draw lenghts and draw weights, if you are purchasing the bow solely for that purpose, be sure to check what the requirements are first.
