After dabbling a bit, I am looking at taking the plunge and buying my first longbow. The plan is to bring it back home to Norway from the U.K. as checked luggage.
From discussions here and elsewhere I gather that a water pipe, rod case or similar hard case should offer some protection against rampaging baggage handlers.
The major remaining challenge has to do with size restrictions. BA has a length limit of 190cm/75in (which tells me that they probably don't regularly handle cross country skis).
So, please enlighten me; What is the unstrung length of a typical longbow?
I believe am probably looking at something reasonably priced (?250-400) in the 40#-50# range.
(This is probably not unlike asking "How big is a fish?" or "How loud is a whisper?"...)
