English Warbow Book??
jaxenro:
Can anyone recommend a really good book on construction of a historically accurate English War bow and related equipment (i.e. arrows, quivers, etc.)? One that covers some history and the archers deployment and armor would be nice as well but I could see that might be a different book
I am collecting articles from the web but nothing beats sitting down with a good book and reading it
FilipT:
I have always been told that Weapons of Warre is extremely good book for construction of Mary Rose warbows replicas. But its a bit pricey (38 pounds).
WillS:
Weapons Of Warre is your best option.
Detailed dimensions of every bow, drawings of each one, sections on timber quality, density, nocks, strings, arrows, arrow bags and bracers etc, plus details on construction of each element and construction of replicas and the testing thereof. It goes as far as chemical analysis of the glues used on the arrows.

WoW it is - looks to be about $60 on fleabay
PaulN/KS:
That's because of the currency exchange rate.
