Measure draw length and draw weight to help order arrows and longbows
There are a few things people either get wrong or simply don't know how to do that can prevent them from ordering a bow or set of arrows correctly. Mainly their draw length and the weight of their existing bow at their own particular draw length. Hopefully this video will clear a few of these things up and explain why they are important when ordering your archery equipment, particularly the English Longbow.

Wow i cannot think of anyone else.i would be prepared to place such a job in the hands of anyone but you . Speaks of your skill talent and reputation . Eell done .
that is very kind
Now if ever you need tp get rid of one. My victorian longbow just broke and i only can make selfbows...
These dont belong to me, sorry.
@@longbows only recently had the pleasure to shoot with a Richard Head 70# longbow from a friend, time to get one myself again
Best reaction video ever! Hurrah for master Cox!
Wow, thanks!...glad you can view it, its been blocked in many countries!
@@longbows weird, have you been give a reason? Is it not old enough, so it still has copyright on it? I'm in Sweden and obviously it works here... 🤔
Apparently ITV still own it!
My last name is Bowmaker. Our family are originally from England and now we're in Australia.
excellent!
Scoobydoo Bowmaker ?
@feydrautha80 yes last name is Bowmaker immigrated to Australia after WW2.
What is the problem if the arrow is longer? I always tought only its mass matters.
Arrow is longer than what?
Vocês tem vários arcos ai que ninguém usa? Vendam eles baratos.
OK
Lance wood perhaps.
Could be
A great bow maker , thank you for everything you and your son have done for archery in General and the quality of the bows you produce, a great product from truly talented people .
thanks!!!
Are there any advantages to starting with a square piece of wood rather than a round one? Absolutely beautiful end result
This is a method showing how shafts could have been made 500 years ago or more, so we assume they had saws etc to be able to make a square section of wood to start with.
@@longbowsyeah thats what i assumed. But you never know, i thought there might be some struktural benefit that I’m too dumb to get😅 Thanks for a great video!
I like this old series and it is great fun to watch, although I know, it's neither an archery lesson, nor a history lesson.
Thanks. Though this epsisode has some good technical information.
Thanks big fella!!, speed of video is good for those dim like me....
Glad to help
It would be nice to know if there is a follow up video where you complete this stave into a bow
with over 400 videos there are a few where we show what happens after this stage, check out the playlist section and look at the bow making ones
When refurbishing something that was made that long ago, do you find learn something new? As in do you notice that the old makers did their tips differently, the handle raps differently, the tillerbis slightly different? Things of this nature. And have you ever started using something you learned in this manner?
yes and no, we have been working on them for years, these are bows we take as a pattern for the bows we make now. without bows like this we wouldn't be able to make the bows we produce.
Watch closely on the second pull and it’s definitely closer to 27” than 26”. You’re definitely right 3 fingers will definitely draw the bow further than one contact point though.
indeed
I want me one of these. How much?
try your local pet store
I never get fatigued from watching hands on fabrication shows. Intuitive! Bows- now your talking!! Wonderful skill and craftsmanship!! Guys, keep up the wonderful work!
You are so welcome
I love their 'gang bang ' enthusiasm! It is great to be able to see what Horace Ford was talking and writing about in the mid 1800's
glad you enjoyed it
I wish you guys lived next door to me. I’ve a recurve, a few longbows and one shrimpy little flatbow that I bang the carp with. Great work! Your knowledge and shows are really enjoyed!!
thanks for watching
You know, that was a very nice video! I harvest and pressure can rough fish, garden, make my own arrows and strings with patience. I enjoy craftsmanship ! It was on display with your video!!
thanks for watching and subscribing
Ofc Bow Box wasn’t a made up name for bow case or bow quiver.
we talked about bow boxes and arrow boxes in other videos, one of the names for a bow box is an Ascham, but they tend to be large and attached to a wall like a cabinet, this one seems to be more of a carrying device and has no room for arrows
Beautiful!💯💪
Thank you! Cheers!
Another nice simple to understand video. My only query would be where you measure draw length too. You appeared to measure to the back of the bow. I would have thought true draw length was the distance between the heal of your hand on the belly of the bow and where the string finishes at anchor. Obviously a safe arrow length would usually be about 1 3/4 to 2 inches longer than your draw length. Its not really that critical if you are doing the measuring and checking draw weight as you just draw the bow the same distance on the measuring stick, but it can be confusing when people say they have a certain length draw but in reality its probably an inch or two shorter. Any guidance gratefully received.
measure to the back of the bow, as we mentioned
Oh, please can I touch one😊
Absolutely the hands down best demonstration of this technique on the web. Well done snd thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@longbows Thanks, I successfully served two bow strings after watching your video.
Thank You, Sir, for videos like this, how to tie nocking points, how to do a bowyers' knot etc. They help me to fix things on my English Longbow correctly, living in a country where we don't have teachers for English Longbow archery...
I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos
Uhh fancy tabletop Cricket ❤❤❤
I think you need some carped or something as layer
yes indeed
Beautiful work...
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing history👍❤️🏹
It really is!
What would they be worth i wonder 🤔
however much people will pay
Now that is art!
indeed
I would love to see a video of the refinish like a how to video, also before and after photos of each of them 😁 🏹 Cheers Cody
if people support the channel then I may be able to spend the time doing so, it will be a difficult job to repair and refurbish
Looks like small hands would be an advantage. Were fletchers mainly women or children?
I suspect this may be true
Are they perfect Yew or laminated? Im glad the powderpost beetles didnt get to them.
most are yew
Wow 🏴
English longbows ....made in Scotland!?
Like Cheddar cheese made in York.
OK so do the Scott's not get a tad upset by this? I'm English by birth but have now lived 40+ years in Wales..... this sort of inaccurate attribution, quite rightly imo really irritates many Welsh people. Neat bows and box BTW, wonderful to have the skills to care for such precious items.
English Longbow is a design, the Victorian sporting bow, not all the bows in this box are made by Muir, it's just the name of the design, not a designation of where they are from, I am from Wales and make bows in Wales, the type of bow shown here and what I make are still English Longbows...as I say, Cheddar is a type of cheese made a certain way and can still be called Cheddar no matter where it is made.
I recently made a video about this subject
Thank you for the information.... it's always good to learn. Best wishes for the project.... please, if you can, post the completed results.
My God, what a treasure trove.
Indeed
Ojla! Tell mi vats nid for making gud var nov . Wud, glue, glue ica problem.... Plis tenx
what?
Wow
Lovely ❤
thanks
Wow 👍
Awesome piece of history.
they are
Will they shoot again?
that's the customers intention
Wow, nice study. I had checked my bows ony with a simoke hook. The 3 finger variance of +#2 is notable...the string became a little shorter with 3 fingers on it, adding some weight. Thanks Richard.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Idea,thanks.

May I ask. Do you gentleman still run courses?
we don't have one planned at the moment
@@longbows ah ok, if you do entertain the possibility would you mind letting me know please? I watch videos from your channel virtually every day. I’ve started practicing with ash boards and made 1 bow that at least shoots. Your videos are so instructive ( and funny) they’ve helped me no end, it would be a privilege to learn from you gentlemen in person.
Hi, no problem, keep an eye on our busines FB page. Glad the videos have come in useful and that you enjoy the humor in them too! Hopefully we can carry on making them, any help is greatly appreciated.
@@longbows brilliant thank you, I’ve donated some money to your pay pal.
wow! thanks! that is really kind of you!
❤
High Niveau, nice work. Respect
Thanks
Out of curiosity, why is the handle off centre?. Thanks
its not off centre, it's on the centre, an English Longbow (not a Warbow) has a handle section, similar to a riser section i.e. the handle doesn't move. if we were to place the handle below the centre, meaning the arrow sits directly at the centre, the bottom limb would be about 4 inches shorter than the top, so we push the handle up a bit above the centre to even put the keniof the limbs, the top limb is still longer that the bottom.
@@longbows thanks for the reply
no worries, we featured this information in some of our other videos
Love the wood pigeons
lol
@@longbowsit's fitting for wood work and reminds me of childhood
Why use yew as a core wood? Isnt the core of a tri lam, where you put a wood type that isn't upto any scratch as a bow timber?
instead of wasting good heart wood, Yew that hasn't got good sap wood.
Just to make sure I got it right, measuring the arrow to put those red marks have to be from the inside of the knock, where the string will be touching, right ? If the club and most of my friends have recurve bows, would the math be accurate enough ? Where should I consider the back of the longbow could be (plunger, end of the riser,a few inch after the grip like the width of a longbow could be) ? Thanks for the explanations !
yes, the measurements are from the bottom of the nock slot
👍
