Welcome to Yew Tree Archery
Traditional English Longbows
I produce a range of laminated longbows in the traditional English D style, ideal for target or field archers and medieval re-enactors.
My longbows comply with British Longbow Society (BLBS) rules and can be produced to your specified draw weight, draw length and overall length using a wide variety of traditional and exotic woods in 3, 4 or 5 laminate structure, with a selection of nocks, handles and strings.
28th April 2012: Over the years I have almost always been making custom bows to order, from time to time these do not come out as planned (usually low on draw weight) and I have to start again to fulfil the order. Over the coming months I will be sorting, finishing and cataloging the bows I have put aside, adding them to the stock longbows section of my site as I do.
