72" Maple Longbow (Board Bow / Self Bow) Pulling 35# @ 28" or 40# @ 30"
This a Self Bow, which means that it is not backed with anything. Some bows, made from less than ideal staves or boards, are backed with linen, rawhide, sinew or other natural or artificial materials to provide additional protection from splinters lifting when the bow is drawn.
