DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Squire Bow is a realistic bow that is designed for shorter arm lengths and close-quarter fighting. Made with a fibreglass core and covered in soft suede, this 118 cm long 24-26 lb. bow is built to withstand abuse while not having too much force that you might injure your friends. It is embellished with leather for a better grip and interesting detail.

This bow is a great solution for beginning archers, youth, tourism, LARP or medieval reenactment. Due to this bow’s classic style, it is a perfect addition to a variety of genres or settings.

Available in sizes Small and Medium, and colours Black, Brown and Grey.

HISTORY

• Used in cultures all over the world, predating recorded history
• Modern reconstruction of a historical composite bow

CLEANING & CARE

When not in use, keep the bow unstrung to increase its life. Store the bow horizontally in order to protect the tips. Do not leave it in the sun for long periods of time, if you do, make sure it cools down before use. Never release the string without an arrow, since the shock of the shot will be absorbed by the bow and might cause damage.

Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt from the bow and then wipe dry. Simple as that!

STRING

All our bow strings are made from several strands of Dacron, a synthesised polyester with a little stretch. They come waxed and wrapped in polyester thread at both ends to form loops and in the center to form a nocking point.

If you want to increase the life of your string, you can add a little bit of wax. Wax will protect the string from moisture while also keeping the threads together.

Strings may eventually appear ratty or worn.  Replace the string when this happens. String is cheaper than replacing a broken bow from a string snapping!
