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 circular or D shaped in cross section. Typically a longbow is widest at the handle. Longbows have been used for hunting and warfare by many cultures around the world, with the most famous example being the English during the middle ages (see English longbow).
