Longbow:
Generally any straight or nearly straight
bow of five feet or longer (where the string does not lay on the
belly of the limbs).
Longbows,
in various forms, are among the oldest styles of bows known to
man. They are more truly in the category of "straight"
bows, descending from their shorter ancestors used by early man
and still prevalent in many tribal civilizations, used widely in
modern Traditional Archery as well.
