The Victorian longbow does not bend throughout the entire length, as does the medieval longbow.

The earliest known example of a longbow was found in 1991 in the Ötztal Alps with a natural mummy known as Ötzi. His bow was made from yew and was 1.82 metres (72 in) long; the body has been dated to around 3,300 BC. Another bow made from yew, found within some peat in Somerset, England has been dated to 2700–2600 BC. Forty longbows which date from the 4th century AD have been discovered in a peat bog at Nydam in Denmark
