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.

[@Likexner]

I like these bits of trivia about the origin of words and phrases that we still use today. Thanks

[@Elderand]

And it's called a blank because in french, white is written blanc (the c is silent). The English, not being French, did pronounce the final c. And over time it became blank

[@aaronleverton4221]

@@Elderand the whole silent final letter in French is a modern French development. Not something that was being done in Northern France a thousand years ago.

[@kenbrown2808]

and to further add to the trivia, once guns and gunsights sights became a thing, point blanc became the range that the sight was adjusted to, and was not necessarily within arm's reach. if your sights were adjusted to 100 yards, then 100 yards was point blanc range.

[@ModernKnight]

Shad, great to see you here, yes it's the side I've always shot. I was suprised to realise there was even a controversy about it. I'm left handed with a rifle too weirdly and I think it's because I usually try stuff myself before I get taught 'how too do it' by someone.

[@Seldinor]

We need more right side shooting in this world. I would also be interested to know how instinctive aim works on the move, because it's a very "movie-style" way of shooting and I doubt anyone fought or hunted walking and specially running. I think it would be impossible with high poundage, so maybe smaller shortbows had an advantage there.

[@thomasgrimes6664]

right siders all the way

[@ryddragyn]

@@Seldinor As someone who shoots off horseback, I will say that it's a bit like shooting with a shotgun where you track the target with your arrow as you gallop past. It can be done fairly scientifically. It helps when your arrows fly where they point, which Jason was clearly struggling with in this video. 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.

@@faithnfire4769 a twig will deflect a heavier arrow as well, depending a bit on the angle. Its more about the spine than the actual weight of the arrow though. 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.

@@lc1138 Clout archery is the practice of placing a marker, like a flag, at a large distance in a field (the WA rules specify 165 meters). Then the participants try to let their arrows land as close to that marker as possible, usually having a scoring area with a radius of around 2.5 to 7.5 meters around it. This is obviously a form derived from battlefield-practice. Training the archers to hit enemy formations at relatively long distance.

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. Not to knock on Olympic shooting too much, I'm sure it's still fun in its own right. But nothing beats the feeling of traditional instinctive shooting.

10:27 ahhh interesting. Do we have any idea how, say, armouries would have stored arrows to prevent them from deforming? I assume castles , etc.. would have to store a certain amount of arrows to have available, over years potentially as well?

[@lomax343]

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.

[@JS-ui5ew]

@@lomax343 Similar to some modern militaries then. I guess rocks are cheap, low skill and expedient for enemies below you (who would be difficult to shoot with bows anyway).

[@johnree6106]

I would assume that they only kept a reasonable amount of arrows and a fletcher would quickly make more if needed. Keeping the parts separate would make storage easier. If you take a bundle and tie it together it would less likely warp out of shape. Then store it into a canvas oil sack or a chest that can prevent it. This is just a guess

[@mii747]

I’d be interested to know as well.

[@ShiningDarknes]

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.

I think Lloyd failed to really emphasize one of the best factors of this sport being one shot per peg. It simulates a moving target with a stationary target. Think of it as the target fleeing or charging, or the shooter hitting and running. And it adds to the sport because a well practiced archer could potentially notch their arrow while moving, and fire immediately upon reaching the next spot. I wanna try this DX

The hell with the archery--I want that woodshop!

[@lievenpetersen]

What a lovely collaboration! And props to Jason for shooting on the right side in Lars Andersen style!

[@ryddragyn]

That may partially explain the poor shooting...

[@jakegallagher8631]

No way, What a collaboration! Literally my two favourite history channels, man I’m so happy😁

[@TheUltimateWriterNZ]

You haven't found Side Quest yet?

[@stumbling]

We just need Matt from Schola Gladiatoria to join them and we have a sort of Historical Top Gear xD

Finding people who can make learning fun stuff funnererer is a GOOD thing.

Nice way to spend a cold and wet tuesday night watching some beige

There's just something about the sound of a long bow and those targets make a very satisfying thud as well.

[@CssHDmonster]

just 2 blokes with bows in a forest, lovely

[@calicodan1556]

Exactly the ruleset i used to shoot with! Fantastic sport and the medal ceremony at the end is always a motivation

The perks of having a land owning friend.

Wonderful to see Jason Kingsley in a video with you, Lloyd. What a great collaboration.

[@loddude5706]

'Tales from the Beigewood' - excellent stuff. Can next week's 'red peg' be on a watermill powered bull riding machine? : )

Hey mate! Your videos are always so amazingly long!

[@VermilionMage]

These two have such amazing synergy.

[@ThaTerrorr]

Ah yes, the freshest of beige

[@Suballi4004]

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.
