Fun archery fact. The centre of a mediaeval archery butt was marked with a white disc known as the Blank. When shooting from range, one had to aim above the Blank, to allow for gravity to do its thing. If, however, you were so close that you could aim directly at the disc, this was called Point-Blank range.

If he wants to stick with that arrow placement, I would suggest he switch to thumb draw, as when properly done with that method, the arrow will fly straight.

Spine is a measurement that measures the flexibility of the arrowshaft, and is adapted to the draw weight of the bow. And this is more important for longbows than any kind of modern bows, because the arrow bends around the bow handle before it straightens up. Anyway, for rpg rules i would do it pretty simple no matter how heavy the arrow. Natural 1, deflected by a twig, natural 20 is a perfect hit.

The problem with castles - and their attendant garrisons - was that they cost money to maintain. Governments being what they are, penny-pinching was the norm. I once did some research for a book on castles in Wales (not Welsh castles; about half the castles in the book were built by the English) and I repeatedly found reports about the sad state of both the state of the castle itself (leaking roofs and rotten gates etc) and of the stock both of provisions and weaponry. I remember one entry (I forget for which castle) that said "We have five lances - but only three of them have heads." So that's three lances and two sticks, really. I doubt that the stock of arrows was much better, in terms of quality or quantity. This may explain why so many accounts of castle seiges feature the defenders throwing rocks.

I would wager armories didn’t. Precision is not important in massed volleys or individual defenders from battlements firing on massed attackers. I would likewise wager that bulk arrows and bolts were not even that well maintained in terms of keeping the tip waxed. I think they were stored in relatively dry conditions, possibly packed into barrels for easy distribution when needed. People’s personal arrows for hunting or the odd marksman (as opposed to just you run of the mill massed volley archer) would likely be the only ones carefully maintaining their arrows. Heck we know the best marksmen made their own arrows and many made their own bows.

Compound bows are like sniper rifles except they still have the reload time of a musket. Olympic recurve bows are the worst of both worlds. They have a longer reload time and the most extra gear to carry around, but they're still not as accurate as compound. No practical use in the real world outside of static target shooting.

I'm disappointed by the lack of cod-pieces here. I did think Mr Beige was wearing one in an opening shot but it turned out to be a trick of the tights. I really think they would improve this matchup no end. Please consider this for future productions.

Woop woop. I couldn’t agree more! I’m a longbowman from Southampton Archery club and I love all your videos! What’s best is the thriving popularity of longbow right now and how a lot of young adults like me are taking it up because it’s honestly exceptionally fun. Especially field archery! It’s like you’re head and your body are in sync! 😄🏹🏹

And idea maybe for kids or in a more public place. You could have foam tipped arrows and just before you shoot, dip them in a bit of paint (one that washes out of dog walker clothes) so you can see if you make a hit, without penetration

We did that with our group last fall (just with foam animals). The owners of the parcour were very creative arranging the groups and making use of the terrain: shots up to down, down to up, between trees, on moving targets (moving on a cable train) and so on. Can only recommend it, though you should only take cheap arrows with you and spray yourself against ticks.

Yes, that does look a lot more fun! When I've had people over in the past, we would usually follow all the guidelines from the archery club. Partly bc of uncertainty on the legal aspects, and party just trying to be responsible since we were teens and prone to bouts of idiocy. But I think now I will give this a go with some some of my now-grown friends. I am off to build an archery assault course. I know nothing about these techniques you are using though, with arched backs etc. Will have to investigate and do some testing. Thank you gentlemen. Your channels are fantastic!

And a field archer always carries a stout knife to dig arrows out of trees 😁

or knees 🤣Happened to a friend when out on my first field archery competition, I had to stop near the end of the competition to take him to hospital. His arrow had gone a bit off course and stuck in a tree, by dint of digging it out with the stout knife and a lot of hefty tugging the arrow sprang free and the knock embedded it's self into his thigh just above the knee. Of course Skyrim T-Shirts were exchanged after the visit to the hospital ... "I used to be a field archer until I took an arrow to the knee" 🏹🎯⚔

"First arrow casualty of the day, it's bound to happen" as an archer who probably shot his bow only 100 times (as in 100 shots) and destroyed at least 12 arrows, I can very much relate. Losing arrows is never fun but part of the sport.

I shot field archery when I was younger and loved it so much more than target archery, much to the disappointment of my parents who were both county level target archery coaches. Mine was an American made hunting bow shooting barebow with no sights and I made my own arrows. Thank you for a great video
