Lockdown Longbow challenge - Tod'sworkshop

[davidb]

Tod has created a 120 longbow (well a 120lb crossbow that shoots long bow arrows - as he can't pull a 120lb longbow).  He had several types of period war arrows and will be testing them against various types of armour and shields.  The last video is interesting as he is shooting at the shield at 25,50,75 and 100 meters.

Here are the ones so far:
