How long will a Longbow Last?

0

Some people are still using Bows from the Victorian era!!! this, in our opinion, should not be done, they are Antiques and should be treated as such. As for modern Longbows, you can get a good few years top performance out of a Longbow, say 3-4 years, after this time it can begin to tire and lose some of its cast/speed or Draw Weight, this isn’t always the case. We have had Bows come back to our workshop for examination and they still come up to the Weight they were originally made for even though they are more than 10 years old. As for Bows breaking, well this could happen at any time, its only a piece of wood, if the wood has a flaw that we cannot see when making the Bow then there is a possibility it could break, if a bow is going to break because of a flaw it will do so when we are making it. All our Bows come with a 12 months guarantee. 10.
