I have two english longbows from Jay St Charles.  One I bought from him and one I made in one of his classes.  Both shoot really well.  If your able to, sign up for one of his classes. You will learn alot.  He's a great guy with a lifetime of knowledge.

Ted at Raptor Archery builds English longbows, check his web site.  I have seen his bows and he makes a nice bow.

Hey Seabass,

Why don't you look to get one from one of the professional bowyers here in England? Nothing more authentic than an English Longbow from England! I got mine from YEW TREE ARCHERY. It's a fine bow, really fast. All the guys that shoot ELB at our club are really envious of how fast it shoots. Keith is a really good guy too, and really listens to what you're looking for in a bow.

Pete

PZee, can you share some pics of his work?

However,I went to his site and found this:

"Unfortunately I do not produce bows for customers outside the UK."
