	Longbow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A longbow is a type of bow that is tall (roughly equal to or greater than the height of a person), is not recurved and has relatively narrow limbs, that are circular or D-shaped in cross section.
		Longbows are made entirely from wood and have been used for hundreds or thousands of years, for hunting and warfare by, among others, the ancient Nubians, Native American tribes such as the Cherokee, South American tribes like the Bari, African tribes such as the Bassa, Neolithic Europeans, and medieval Europeans.
		Longbows, because of their narrow limbs and rounded cross-section (which does not spread out stress within the wood as evenly as a flatbow’s rectangular cross section), need to be either less powerful, longer or of stronger wood than an equivalent flatbow.
