New to Warbows?

Many of our warbows are built to specifications drawn from the bows recovered from the Mary Rose — Henry VIII's flagship, and the source of most of what's known today about genuine medieval draw weights. These are specialist bows, not beginner equipment: draw weights typically start where most longbow archers' top range finishes from 70lb+, and shooting one properly takes conditioning built up gradually rather than attempted on day one.

If you're new to warbow shooting, talk to us before you order so we can recommend a sensible starting weight based on your current draw weight and experience — this is one category where getting advice first genuinely matters. Contact us to discuss.
