Rss Feed Bow Reviews

From American flat bow to Hungarian horse bows we have owned or shot them all. Doing a lot of archery means we have shot pretty much everything out there, initially on the English long bow and target scene and then later shooting field courses. Here we review the bows everybody is talking about, but we haven't just shot these things once or twice, most of them we have owned and shot reguarly so can give you a better understanding of what these high performance bows are like to live with.

Magazine

European 3D's July 2010 The Mary Rose story comes to life this month, when Steve and Andy went to visit archaeologist Alex Hildred and got our hands on 500 year old long bows (literally). We look at the battle of Vernuiel, Andy visits France on a peace mission and we talk to Sid at Border.


June 2010 Bumper edition this month, a pig in armour, Geoff towers direct from Homildon Hill and a look at the Mary Rose. There is also news of the UK Atlatl championships and all the usual regular items.
