                               IN THIS MOVIE I'M SHOOTING MY YEW ENGLISH LONGBOW,"EBB" 72", 43#

THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO KINDS OF TRADITIONAL BOWS. ONE IS THE LONGBOW AND THE OTHER IS THE RECURVE. THE LONGBOW CAN BE DIVIDED INTO MODERN AND PRIMITIVE. PRIMITIVE MEANS NO SHELF AND DOES NOT MEAN PRIMITIVE.  FOR INSTANCE A ENGLISH LONGBOW OR AMERICAN STYLE FLAT BOWS ARE BOTH LONGBOWS. MOST ENGLISH LONGBOWS ARE 72" OR LONGER. MOST MODERN LONGBOWS ARE 68".  BOWS DID NOT HAVE SHELVES UNTIL THE 1950'S WHEN FIBER GLASS ALLOWED A SHELF TO BE CUT INTO THE  BOW. SHOOTING A BOW WITHOUT A SHELF IS NOT A PROBLEM.

RECURVES ARE BOTH MODERN WITH A SHELF OR LIKE ASIAN BOWS; WHICH ARE THE ANCIENT DESIGN, WITHOUT A SHELF. ASIAN BOWS ARE SHORTER AND BY CURVING THE LIMBS THEY USE LEVERAGE TO SNAP THE STRING FASTER.

ASIAN BOWS, ENGLISH LONGBOWS AND INDIAN BOWS ALL SHOOT SIMILARILY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE SHELVES BUT A MODERN LONGBOW OR RECURVE WILL SHOOT TO THE RIGHT  OF A PRIMITIVE BOW AND SO EACH ONE NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED TO.

HICKORY IS A EXCELLENT BOW WOULD USED BY EASTERN INDIAN TRIBES AND WAS BROUGHT BACK TO ENGLAND AS A BOW WOOD WHEN YEW BEGAN TO GET SCARES AND WAS USED WITH YEW AND ASH TO MAKE LAMINATED BOWS.
OSAGE ORANGE IS A GREAT BOW WOOD MADE VERY POPULAR BY INDIAN TRIBES IN THE BOTH AND SOUTH WEST.
BAMBOO IS A GRASS NOT A WOOD AND ANY BOW MADE OF BAMBOO LAMINATIONS WILL ALWAYS SHOOT FASTER THAN A BOW OF WOOD LAMINATIONS.
YEW IS A GREAT BOW WOOD MADE FAMOUS BY THE ENGLISH LONGBOW. IT IS UNFORTUNATELY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER BOW WOODS TODAY. YEW LAMINATIONS ARE A BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN COLOR.
