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


August 2010

We take a tour the length and breadth of the British mainland to visit Scotland with Border Bows, Yorkshire with Aidy Hayes, the Wirral with Jason from thelongbowshop.com, down South with the Company of Canterbury Longbowman, and Geoff is in Spain.




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.

Each month we publish a new magazine packed with articles, interviews and pictures. Enter your details at the bottom of the magazine to sign up today and get the magazine sent directly to your email inbox as soon as it is released.
