    A longbow is an old kind of bow for shooting arrows. It is made from one long, thin, curved piece of wood, often about as tall as the person using it. Hunters and soldiers used it in the past. It is especially famous in English history: in the Middle Ages, English armies used the longbow in battle. It is not the small curved bow people sometimes picture from later hunting stories, and it is not a , which has a stock you hold and a trigger you pull. You meet the word in history books, museums, and old stories, not in ordinary modern life. Nobody carries a longbow to work. The name is plain: it is a bow that is long.
