Long Bows

Longbows by Border utilise Border's all carbon GL construction. All carbon bow facings ensure ultra low limb mass vital in ensuring maximum bow performance. Low limb mass aids limb acceleration and reduces hand shock to unbelievable levels. Be careful of other makes claiming double or even triple carbon construction as the vast majority support the carbon facings with additional glass layers defeating the benefits of using carbons low mass construction. Placing glass or carbon as a core material only adds to limb mass and performs no useful purpose. While carbon is described as low mass that is true when compared to glass laminates however it is very heavy when compared to lightweight core materials.

Border offers four longbow types all of mild deflex/reflex design:

The Griffon GL and elegant "D" profiled longbow available in bow lengths 64" through to 70"

The Harrier again a "D" profiled longbow available in two versions the Harrier GL with Longbow type locator grip and the Harrier Royale with its heavier mass riser and full pistol grip. available in 64" to 70" bow lengths

The Hawk Hunter GL with a mild reflexed profile. designed to accommodated longer draw lengths in shorter bow lengths, bow lengths 60" through to 66"

The Raptor three piece take apart longbow available with four limb lengths and two riser lengths. These limbs have been designed to fit most ILF risers and maximised for this purpose as indicated by the genuine longbow brace heights that this bow can be shot with. Extra high BH in bows of this type indicate compromise in the design. The Raptor risers also handle Border's recurve ILF limbs.

The Raptor longbow is fully adjustable for weight with a 10% weight adjustment up from the marked weight of the limbs and adjustable for balance giving the archer full control over the bows performance and tune.
