Does anyone have any information about my Self Yew longbow labelled "Benet Burbage"?
Dear All,
I am new to archery and this site. But i was just wondering if anyone could help me?
A few months back I was lucky enough to be given a couple of longbows. One I have been told was made by Ron Palmer.
The other is a self yew bow marked "Benet Burbage". I am keen to discover more about the maker if anyone knows anything? I have been told it was made by John Bennett from Burbage. But thats all the information I have.
I have no idea how old it is and therefore when it was made?
Its a beautiful bow. Hilary Greenland re-handled, re-strung and oiled if for me. It now looks stunning to me. Its still pulling its labelled weight of 48 28.
I am am now on my quest to learn to use it.
Thanks for your help
