Longbows

A longbow is a type of bow that is tall (roughly equal to the height of a person who uses it), and it is not significantly recurved and has relatively narrow limbs that are circular or D-shaped in cross section.

It will normally allow its user a fairly long draw, to the ear or further. Organizations which run archery competitions have set out formal definitions for the various classes; many definitions of the longbow would exclude some medieval examples, materials, and techniques of use. By most modern definitions, the English longbow is made so that its thickness is at least 5/8 of its width, and is widest at the handle.

Longbows have been used for hunting and warfare, by many cultures around the world, a famous example being the English longbow, during the Middle Ages.
