Target weight english longbows are usually around 30 - 70 lbs, and range from 70" - 78" from nock to nock. For higher weight bows, in weights that would of been used for war, 100 lbs and up, typically the bows are anywhere from 74" - 82" from nock to nock, the higher the draw weight usually the longer the bow, in order to more evenly distribute the added stressed of the higher weights.

leehongyi:
nearly tiller. the diameter of the end is 15mm, should i continue to scratch? look at the left side grain of this bow. In chinese traditional wood appreciation, the grain of rosewood is called "fine golden buffalo bristles", and ipe has the similar dense and grain so it got another name "south american rosewood" in china. at the right part of bow we can see the cross section of bamboo fibers which is called "fish berry" to describe the crowned grain. once you see the section of 6-split bamboo fly rod you can understand.
