A guide to traditional archery

The most Traditional bow is a Longbow. It is often referred to as a "stick bow" due to the fact that when unstrung it is a straight piece of wood. Go to our longbow page for more on this historic bow.

To all but the most ardent purists the recurve bow is also a traditional bow. The limbs on a recurve have a curve in them to add more potential energy for longer range and higher speed when compared to a longbow. Go to the recurve archery page for more.

The bows are not the only thing that are considered traditional. The arrows, broadheads, quivers and much more add to the romance. Check out more on our traditional archery supplies page.
