Bows

Take Aim with an Epic Armoury Bow

At Epic Armoury, we’ve got something for every archer, from classic wooden bows that capture the feel of traditional craftsmanship to glass-fibre bows that are lightweight, durable, and easy to handle. Regardless of your skill level or playstyle, we will prepare you for your next adventure.

Built with natural materials and designed for medieval resemblance and modern performance, these bring the timeless art of archery to life in your LARP adventures. No unnecessary modern mechanics—just the pure, elegant craftsmanship of ages past.

Why Choose a Bow?

A bow in LARP isn’t just about shooting arrows—it’s about feeling like you belong in the world you’ve entered. The way it curves in your hand, the tension of the string as you draw, and the smooth release of an arrow all contribute to an experience that’s as much about immersion as it is about function. Whether you favour the natural look of wood or the practical durability of glass fibre, both offer a raw, instinctive style of archery that brings you a new combat experience.

Natural materials, like wood, offer a timeless elegance for those seeking historical resemblance. Free from modern attachments, they echo the hunting- and longbows used for centuries. Their natural materials and handcrafted feel make them ideal for medieval warriors, rangers, or traditional archers who want their weapon to feel as real as the character they portray. Every shot from a wood bow connects you to the past, making each release part of a story that could have been told hundreds of years ago.

On the other hand, glass-fibre bows can bring the same classic shape and function but with increased flexibility and resilience. They are designed to handle the wear and tear of frequent use while remaining lightweight and reliable in all weather conditions. If you’re looking for an item that balances pleasing aesthetics with modern advantages, a glass-fiber bow is a fantastic choice, especially for LARPers who need a dependable weapon throughout intense events and battles.

Both types deliver a smooth draw and natural shooting feel, ensuring that every arrow flies with precision.

How to Choose the Right Bow

The right bow depends on your character, playstyle, and personal preference. Here’s what to consider:

1. Size and Draw Weight – Longer bows offer more power, while shorter styles provide greater maneuverability. Choose one that fits your combat role.
2. Character Theme – A medieval soldier or yeoman may favor a longbow, while a nomadic steppe warrior would prefer a horse bow.
3. Comfort and Handling – Make sure the bow feels natural in your hands, with a draw weight you can handle over long battles.

Whether you're an experienced archer or just starting out, a wooden bow inspired by traditional designs ensures a smooth, natural shooting experience.

Caring for Your Bow

To keep your wood bow in top condition, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Store it Properly – Keep your bow in a dry place, away from extreme heat or humidity.
• Unstring When Not in Use – This relieves tension and prolongs the life of the wood and string.
• Check for Wear – Inspect the string and limbs regularly to ensure no cracks or fraying.
• Use Proper Arrows – Avoid using arrows that are too heavy or light for your bow’s draw weight.

With proper care, your traditional bow will serve you well through countless adventures.
