there have been thousands of weapons made in the last couple of years, but one of my favourites is the English long bow... read a small article about this weapon some years ago, some were made with a 100pound pull on them ! can you imagine the amount of physical strength needed in the upper body to be able to hold and pull, then release accurately !?!?!


these bowmen were true craftsmen. the bone in the upper body would grow thicker to compensate for the stresses of working these armour piercing beasts..


what can i say other than "amazing weapon"

prev Hong Kong--------More a statement than question.

When the British ship " Mary Rose" was found and raised, they found English long bows on board as well as a few arrows in delicate condition. The bows are stored in a museum. Dozens, it seemed.
