Timeless, instinctive, and beautifully simple — longbows embody the purest form of archery. At Los Cazadores, our selection of longbows honors tradition while delivering reliable performance in the field or on the range. With smooth-drawing limbs, lightweight risers, and a quiet release, longbows are favored by skilled hunters and archery purists who prefer to shoot without modern gadgets or mechanics.
Whether you’re stalking whitetails in the woods or sharpening your traditional form in the backyard, we carry longbows for hunting and recreational shooting from trusted traditional archery brands. Step into a simpler kind of precision — with longbows that reward skill, patience, and connection to the shot.
Longbows are perfect for archers seeking a minimalist approach and instinctive shooting style. Choosing the right longbow depends on your draw length, experience level, and intended use — whether it’s hunting, stump shooting, or competitive traditional archery. Unlike recurves or compounds, longbows have no sights, rests, or mechanical advantage, meaning shot success relies on muscle memory, form, and focus. At Los Cazadores, we’ll help you select a bow that fits comfortably, performs smoothly, and feels like an extension of your instincts.
A longbow features a tall, gently curved profile with no recurve at the limb tips. Unlike compound bows or recurves, longbows rely entirely on the archer's strength and form, offering a smoother draw and quieter release. They're favored by traditional archers who value simplicity, challenge, and instinctive shooting.
Yes, longbows are highly effective for hunting, especially in close-range situations where stealth and quiet shots matter. Most hunters use longbows with draw weights of 45 pounds or more to ensure ethical penetration on game like deer or hogs. Longbows require more skill and practice than modern bows, but for those willing to put in the time, they offer an unmatched hunting experience.
Beginners often start with draw weights in the 30–40 lb range to develop good form. For hunting, most states recommend a minimum draw weight of 40 lbs, but many longbow hunters use bows in the 45–55 lb range for better penetration. Always choose a draw weight that allows you to shoot consistently and accurately without fatigue.
Longbows are traditionally shot using instinctive aiming, where the archer relies on muscle memory, anchor points, and consistent shooting form instead of sights. Over time, your eyes and brain begin to calculate distances naturally. It takes practice, but instinctive shooting becomes second nature for many traditional archers.
While longbows require minimal gear, you’ll want a stringer tool, armguard, finger tab or glove, and properly spined arrows matched to your draw weight. Many archers also use a back quiver or field quiver for convenience. Los Cazadores carries all the essentials to get you shooting confidently and comfortably.
