A Private Event

A Trayned Bandes Archer - In his common coat

The Weald and Downland Museum (2005)

Anothe view of a Traynde Bandes member. This picture shows the indivual shape of a yew bow. Note also the binding towards the bottom end of the bow; this is to repair a lift of wood which would, if untreated cause the bow to split. Such repairs do not detract from the effectiveness of the bow.
