Take-down bows and longbows
(Carriage Bows) and hand made
mahogany bow boxes with brass
fittings
The take-down longbow
is a bow that comes in two half's that are joined together
at the handle when in use. It is also known as a carriage
bow, named after its use as protection in horse drawn
carriages where space and ease of transportation were a
major factor.

Green Man Longbows use

our take-down longbows that is suitable for all laminated
and self wood bows up to around a 50lb draw weight.
