MARK ONE LONGBOW

The Mark One Longbow (Mk 1)
Built with the performance oriented longbow shooter in mind the Mk 1 features limbs shaped in a deeply curved reflex/deflex. Carbon fiber and bamboo limb construction and a compact riser result in a very fast, flat cast. With a total weight of just over one pound it is a joy to carry in the field or on the range. A very efficient, low braced bow, it delivers a light or heavy arrow quietly and with authority.

  • comes standard with a 12 strand Dyneema 8125 HALO served padded loop string

Our Bows

Classic Longbow - As a weapon the classic longbow is a study in simplicity. Long straight limbs and a simple riser bend to a graceful D shape when braced.

Three Shilling Longbow - Similar in simplicity of form to the classic longbow except that the limbs are reflexed slightly away from the shooter.

Mark One Longbow - Carbon fiber and bamboo limb construction and a compact riser result in a very fast, flat cast, with a total weight of just over one pound.
