mon antiques roadshow on yesterday.
a gent had what he described as an original robin hood longbow , with a framed letter.
looked like Yew with a few small knots, but 1800's style
in my eyes 70lb draw max, looking at thickness of the stave.
the owner recons that robin was buried where his last arrow fell , now considering he was ill, bleeding and basically being murdered slowly by this abbotess, he managed to shoot an arrow 650 yds. (the gents quote )
do you think this gent has been slightly misinformed
