About Medieval Archery

A battery would be through line after line of men firing a hail of arrows. Flying in round after round, the sharp line fletched professional missiles reach their targets are not arbitrary, by luck than judgement.

When tight, the cable can scroll long distances. The type of wood that was of crucial importance, since the sap native English yew, the wood sap was highly resilient property to the outside of the weapon.

Long-qualified English master program began with greater weight technology. Crucially, deadlier, more arrows can also be projected much further. The battle began with a nerve-racking battle of the archers on each side. A rain of arrows flew sky and landed persoons, maim and kill hundreds of thousands. Harry, the young prince was a hit, a rebel of the arrow in the face.
