Viking Inspired Ash Longbow build

Hello everyone!

This has been a lot of fun to make because I have never made a bow or video quite like this. Though this is not exactly war bow draw weights, it is pattern after a bow I think a Viking would have had and used for both hunting and war. This is a 68# ash long bow with a 36" draw length. Elk antler for both the nocks and strike plate with a linen string and leather handle wrap. This is by far the longest bow and longest draw length I have ever made but I doubt it will be my last. Thank you for watching and enjoy the video.
