Title: Hazelnut Longbow
Post by: Bernhard Langbogen on January 02, 2011, 10:08:48 am

Hi folk

I ám glad to present you my new hazel longbow with horn nocks and a handle made of birch wood.
The flaws which occurred during tillering had to be resolved by two hemp wrappings and a wood baind-aid.

Length 72.04 inch
draw weight 56 lbs.
Draw length 28.5 inch
