Bows are of various descriptions, and in blazon must be named, as an Archers, String-bow, or Longbow; it must also be expressed whether they are bent, or unbent. If charged with an arrow and bent, they are blazoned as, a bow and arrow in full draught, also termed a drawn bow. When the string is of a different colour, the bow is said to be stringed, or strung. See Arbaleste. |
