English Longbow - The Reliable Assualt Rifle of the Middle Ages

The Longbow That Changed History In 1415, the Battle of Agincourt changed everything. A small English force faced a massive French army… and won. How? The longbow. A weapon that fired 12 arrows a minute, cut through armor, and crushed the very idea of knightly warfare. This is the story of how one shot — and one archer — reshaped an empire. If you enjoy hidden history, brutal battles, and moments that changed the world, you’re in the right place. | Battle Briefing | Facebook

Test shooting a new laminated English Warbow. This bow still needs it's final sanding and finish. The bow has a belly wood of Osage Orange, and a Hickory back. It's 80lbs at 30". In the video I say that it retained 1.5" of reflex, in reality it's closer to an 1" than 1.5", but I'm still happy with that. It shot a 58 gram red oak arrow over 202 yards, so I'm also happy with that! #fenwickbows #englishlongbow #englishwarbow #bowmaking #bowyer #bowforsale #bowshop #medievalarchery #traditionalarche
