Some interesting archery demonstrates from Tod's Workshop (https://youtu.be/Avz1O27Dz50 ). I don't know what the draw weight on these bows are, but I'm struck towards the end that at anything but close range, it seems like you'd absolutely have time to raise a shield in response...

In a battle, arrows are most effective when they cause an opponent to do something dumb. At Dorylaeum, Crusaders stayed put under fire, while a volley at Agincourt caused an ill-advised French charge (when the French were blocking the road, and English had to go through them!)

It's definitely different in a siege which could be more attritional, but the morale impact of volley fire vs. continuous fire is important when morale is just as important as attrition

A Yarchive piece about bows and arrows, the Bodkin point armor piercing tips and archery accuracy. Bookmarked for 20+ years. Doubt that I could draw a Yew longbow. https://yarchive.net/metal/arrowheads.html …
