Making a Highland Longbow (and a wee bit of history)

Archery was a big part of the Highland warrior culture and bows were used in the Highlands up to the 1690's. Now, I'm a beginner to bow making, but in this video I try to make a longbow from the materials that might have been available to someone in the 17th century Scottish Highlands.
