Longbow A longbow is a two - handed , martial ranged weapon of the bow family . Description . The longbow is a flexible shaft of wood ( or horn or bone ) about 4 to 6 feet ( 1 . 2 to 1 . 8 meters ) long with the ends connected by strong cord or a gut string that is a little shorter than the shaft , causing the wood to bend and keep the string under tension . For a composite longbow , the shaft is made from laminated materials ( again , horn , wood or bone ) and fashioned with a recurve , meaning the bow remains bow - shaped even when unstrung . A typical longbow costs 75gp and weighs 3lbs ( 1 . 4kg ) . A composite longbow costs around 100gp and weighs about the same . Weaponology . The length of a longbow can vary up to about the height of the archer but it quickly becomes unwieldy , getting caught on things or tripping the user . Composite bows are stronger than normal bows and therefore can translate more of the archer ' s strength into range and damage . Bows require two hands to fire and a good amount of practice in order to hit a target . Therefore , the longbow is considered a martial weapon . You may not use a longbow while mounted , however you may use a composite longbow from the back of a mount .
