Bow, Composite, Long-1

Description

Composite bows are made by carefully shaping and gluing alternating layers of different materials together. Such bows are stronger than if constructed of either material alone, but require more sophistication in their manufacture and are considerably more expensive. Such bows are often constructed to an archer's special special size requirements, and are highly individualized.
