What's been happening at Archers Review this week
August 26th 2010 - we have been consulting with Sherwood archery regarding some new products, we have just received the first, an endless string jig extension, the jig itself is of solid construction and the extension will now allow those with longbows or bows with long limbs to make a string. Something no other jig has addressed.

August 4th 2010 - Aidy Hayes Longbows arrive
We have heard the name whispered on the grapevine, now we get to see the bows. The saying goes " never judge a book by it's cover" however the stunning shape, tiller and finish on these bows makes your mouth water and if they shoot as good as they look we are in for a treat.
