	Longbows themselves vary in length and examples from the [[16th century]] [[Mary Rose]] ship find are between 1.82 to 2.12m long. Earlier longbows from Nydam are 1.73m, Ballinderry 1.85m and [[Hedeby]] 1.92m long. D section longbows of [[yew]] are known in [[England]] from approx 2665 BC and there are examples from [[Scotland]] dated to between 4040 and 3640 BC.

	The draw weights of the Mary Rose bows have been calculated at mostly between 150-160 lbs with the upper limit being around 190 lb. Some modern longbow [[archery\|archers]] can draw and accurately ~~fire,~~ longbows of over 150 lb draw weights, but they are in the minority. The current world record for a drawn and shot longbow is 200lb. To compare, modern [[SCA]] combat bows are 30lb at a 28" draw and target archers rarely use above a 60 lb bow.

	The bow was preferrably made of [[yew]] (Spanish [[yew]] was prized) although it could also be made of [[ash]], [[witchhazel]] or [[witchelm]]. These [[bow]]s typically have a stacked D section to the centre part of the [[bow]] and could have a heartwood belly and sapwood back to enhance their performance. The upper and lower tips of the bow limbs were tipped with [[horn]] and did not appear to have a bound [[grip]] or [[arrow]] shelf.
