Hickory Backed Ipe Longbow – £ 300.00 to 70lb £ 380.00 above 70lb
Any draw weight, bows tailored to suit target archery, field archery, clout, roving & re-enactment. A tough, reliable bow giving fast, accurate and hard-hitting performance. Black buffalo horn nocks and arrow plate.
Tri-Laminate longbow:
Hickory, Ash, Ipe longbow – £340.00 to 70lb £420.00 above 70lb
A really ‘serious’ bow capable of well over 100lb draw weight and superior performance. In lower weights also gives faster, smoother performance than above. Black buffalo horn nocks and arrow plate.
With both of above, if you do not wish to have any animal products used to make your bow, I will make nocks of the same design and inlaid arrow plate from an attractive contrasting hardwood instead of horn.
