Another traditional bow is the Longbow. Longbows are one of the oldest bows dating back to 1298. If you are watching a movie with a battlefield scene from before the 16th century, you are most likely to see this type of bow. It is a very simple bow made of a long curved piece of wood that is as tall as the archer. It does not have arrow rests or sights. These bows are harder to aim and do not have the speed of a Compound or Recurve bow. It takes a lot of practice to master this bow, and it is good for those who enjoy a challenge.
