English/Welsh War Bow
The infamous bow ow the 14th centruy the War Bow is quite unlike other bows. One does not simply draw the string back and aim along the arrow shoaft, an archer using the War Bow must draw the bowstring back past his ear. This means that any aiming of the bow is purly instrictual and the bow takes years of practice to master. The war bow is often may from the wood of the yew tree, using a specially selected stave with one side being the springy heart wood of the tree and the other side being the tough hard wood of the tree. This gives the bow its incredible tensile strength.
