Black Eagle American Flatbow

Unleash the power of a mighty Black Eagle American Flatbow, designed to honor the authentic specifications of a traditional hickory flatbow.

Spanning approximately 66″ from tip to tip, the Black Eagle American Flatbow accommodates modern draw lengths while delivering formidable power and unparalleled accuracy.

Made from brown stained hickory, this flat bow embodies the essence of the powerful river after which it is named. Each curve and contour speaks to the legacy of generations past, infusing every shot with a sense of reverence and authenticity.

Included with the Black Eagle American Flatbow is a Dacron Flemish bow string, ensuring reliable performance and smooth release with every draw. Whether you’re honing your skills on the range or venturing into the wild, this longbow stands as a testament to the timeless artistry and enduring appeal of traditional archery.

Also includes a bow stringer and stringing instructions.

Available from 60″-72″ in draw weights from 15-50#, with draw lengths up to 30″.

Use proper arrows for this bow:
Make sure the arrow spine matches this bow. Use an arrow with a weight between 8–12 grains per pound of draw weight. An arrow that is too light simulates a dry fire. Use an arrow appropriate for your draw length, and never draw this bow past 32 inches.

Storing this bow:
Store this bow unstrung in a temperature- and humidity-controlled location. Storing it horizontally is best. If horizontal storage isn’t possible, leave one string loop in the lower string groove of the bow and hang it up. Do not lean it against a wall with the tip on the ground for long periods.

Other tips:
If it is cold outside, warm up your bow before shooting. To do this, rub your hand on the limbs to generate heat through friction. Then perform several short draws of the string, slowly working up to a full draw. This bow is made of wood and contains a small amount of moisture to remain flexible, which can freeze in cold weather. If frozen, the bow may become brittle.

Do not leave this bow in a hot car. If this happens, allow it to return to room temperature before shooting. Begin with several short draws before working up to a full draw.

This bow has several coats of polyurethane. It does not require frequent re-oiling like other oiled bows. If the finish becomes dull over time and you wish to revitalize it, do not sand through the existing finish, as this can disrupt the bow’s tiller.

Do not carve, wood-burn, or make any other alterations to this bow.

If the bow is dropped, carefully inspect it for dents, dings, or other damage before using it. If you find any damage, consult a longbow expert before using the bow.
