Traditional Left-Handed Wooden Flatbow Squirrel with Black Fibreglass Limbs
A Blend of History and Modern Technology
Longbows and flatbows formed the backbone of medieval armies and dominated battlefields for centuries, particularly during the Hundred Years' War. The original historical weapons were crafted from a single piece of wood, most commonly yew, ash, or elm. This product is a modern interpretation of the historical bow. The wooden riser gives the weapon a traditional, authentic appearance, while the black fibreglass limbs ensure excellent flexibility, consistent performance, and a long lifespan that medieval archers could only dream of. The bow is specifically designed for left-handed archers. This means you hold the bow in your right hand and draw the string with your left hand. The arrow shelf is located on the right side of the riser.

Safety and Proper Care of Your Bow
To ensure this beautiful bow serves you long and reliably, it is necessary to follow a few basic rules. Never dry fire the bow (shooting without a nocked arrow). The energy that would normally transfer into the flight of the arrow will instead destructively impact the bow's limbs, which can lead to them breaking and causing you injury. Always unstring the bow after shooting so the limbs can rest and not lose their elasticity. Store the bow in a dry room, preferably hanging or lying flat, and never expose it to extreme temperatures – for instance, do not leave it in a hot car during the summer. Always be mindful of the safety of your surroundings when shooting, and never aim at people or animals.
