The typical longbow shooters are usually people who look upon a favorite bow as almost an appendage of their own body. Few such bows are ever resold, but often may be seen at field archery tournaments or in the forest during hunting season. The bow is simple in design, lightweight and permits the archer to shoot from awkward positions with relative ease.

The hunter or field archer appreciates that the longbow is lightweight. There is little fatigue from carrying a lightweight longbow all day.

hunting with a longbow

Traditional archers may pattern themselves after the legendary Robin Hood, using a back quiver for arrows, a leather lace-on arm guard and shooting only custom-made cedar arrows.

It's all part of the fun and excitement of archery.
