It does of course depict a archer with the infamous and lethal longbow , seen in deadly use at Crecy and Agincourt amongst others
- The archer was a powerful man with archological evidence in skeletons that the shoulders were extremely well developed to pull the bow to its full capacity
- Replicas of bows like those of the Mary Rose have demonstrated to withstand maximum traction of 84 kg, with an average of about 70kg.
- With arrows that weighed half a pound, the longbows were able to shoot a distance of about 330 m.
- Arrows that weighed one pound could reach up to 250 m.
- During a sporting event, one of Edward III’ archers reached a distance close to 370 m.
- However, during their training, archers had to aim for their target, which often consisted of a cloth lying on the ground. This target was placed at least 200 m away, which was the typical maximum shooting distance in battle.
- The longbow can be considered the medieval machine gun. It has been calculated that an archer fighting in the Hundred Years’ War was able to shoot around 10 to 12 arrows per minute.
