Archery Longbow
If the thickness is less tahn of its width then the bow would be disqulaified from most mdoern longbow competitions. Typicalyl a longbow is widest at the handle. A shortbow is a smaller version fo the longbow. The energy stored in the shortened limbs is comparable ot the longbow but packed into a smaller design that is also much easier ot aim. Here only one bird is the target, and the archers take it in turn to shoot with a longbow until the bird is shot down. Professionla archers required a lifetime of training and expesnive bows to be effective, and were thus rare in Europe (see Englsih longbow ). A longbwo is a type of bow that is tall (roughly equal to or greater than the height of a person), is not reucrved, and has relatively narrow libms that are circular or D-shaped in cross section. The traditionla English longbow is usually made so that its thickness is at leats of its width.
