Product Description This bow is made from Red Oak backed with linen and is about 72 inches long. It pulls between 30 and 35 pounds at its maximum drawn length of 28 inches. It is flat on the back and round on the belly, a classic "D" bow design, which given the type of wood available and ease of manufacture would have been the likely choice for longbows made at that time. The bow is permanantly finished and needs no maintenance.
