District Primitive Longbow

I'm in charge of a 4-H Archery Program! We got this bow so the kids could give a longbow a try! It is fun to shoot and it does the job that we bought it for! It gives the kids an idea of what a Primtive Longbow is, the price was right, it is a great starter bow to get them Interested in Archery!

ThIs bOw is perfect ! When I got this bow set I was very impressed with the quality! This bow is good for a small game or just run some arrows in your backyard.I bought this bow set because it looked like it was in the hunger games! It looked like katniss bow!I also got this one because I got the Capitol silver recurve and it worked really well so I thought this one would be good just like the capitols.It is very good ! It has a great quality bow and arrows that comes with it! I would really recommend this product! Thank you!

I purchased this bow a week ago, and so far I am very impressed with it. For a beginner archer like me, this is a fantastic bow to use for shooting targets in the backyard. The draw weight is perfect (I'm a fourteen-year-old girl who's 5'7")-- hard enough to make me build some muscles in my left arm, but not so hard that drawing it back is no fun. This is an excellent bow in that you can shoot it left or right handed with no adjustments necessary. One of my favorite things about it, though, is its appearance. The simple beauty of a wooden longbow astounds me. If you don't like the modern, unnatural appearance of compound and/or recurve bows, then this will be perfect.

I did have one slight shortcoming with it, but it wasn't much of a problem. The glue on the leather handgrip came loose a few days after I got it and was sliding around on the bow. However, it was an extremely simple fix-- a dab of glue where the grip was supposed to go was all it took.

Lancaster's shipping was impressively fast and it arrived days before I expected it to. All in all, I highly recommend this purchase!

Great for anyone starting archery. The price is great and the bow withstands use.
I've run at least 100 arrows through it since my purchaes at the beginning of the month.
Accuracy is good but I highly reccommend buying some better cheap arrows than the 3 that comes with the bow. Try aluminum arrows with a nice target/field tip.
This is a good bow for small game or just practicing in the backyard.
I never shot a long bow and I am use to recharges but after shooting the district bow I plan on purchasing a higher grade duplicate at 45lbs for bigger game.

Not much of bow master bought this to play around with the kids. I am 6 2' and the bow is a OK size for me and the 25 lbs is good for a beginner like me. The bow itself is well made and very light. The grip is a little fat so if you have small hands you find a little hard to hold. Other then that I will have to use it a little more to give a better review.

Just a FYI - I had this ship to my work and there are alot of hunter, all of them like the bow and thought it was "Cool" and well made.

Good job on the fast shipping and experience from a first time buyer- Lancaster Archery
