Traditional archery, done properly
The Longbow Shop is a specialist archery shop for traditional archery equipment — English longbows, recurve bows, horse bows and everything in between. We don't sell compound bows or crossbows, and we don't try to be all things to all archers. What we do, we do properly: real wood, genuine craftsmanship, and expertise built up over years of shooting, coaching and running our own archery shop.
Every bow, arrow and piece of kit in our range is here because we'd use it ourselves. Whether you're picking up a bow for the first time or you've shot a longbow for twenty years, our team can talk you through draw weights, wood choices and fletching options — not just sell you a box.

Everything a Traditional Archer Needs
From English longbows and horse bows to wood arrows, arrow-making supplies and archery targets, we stock what traditional archers actually use — not a watered-down beginner range and a premium range with nothing in between. New stock, including hand-crafted, one-off pieces, is added regularly, and because we sell direct from our own shop and website, you're buying straight from people who shoot.
Order online or by phone, with secure checkout and UK and worldwide shipping. Not sure what you need – draw weight, arrow spine, wood vs carbon, horse bow vs longbow? Check our FAQs or get in touch. We'd rather you buy the right bow once than the wrong one twice.
