http://www.woodlands.co.uk Woodlands archery, powerful bows and arrows. Long bows made from yew were used during the Hundred Years War. Neil Eddiford from Wolfshead Bowmen describes the properties that made yew suitable for the long bow, and how often English yew wasn't used at all. Other woods used for bows were ash and wych elm. He also looks at the arrows with fletchlings of goose feather, a bodkin point or a needle bodkin. These are serious weapons for medieval warfare, and Neil describes the range and penetration power these arrows could have.
Wolfshead Bowmen are a re-enactment group and Woodlands TV met up with them at the Weald Wood Fair at Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum.

Ralph Livingston no he's not.
wait what? you cant carry firearms in public in GB? i guess they need some freedom … asap, so help them god. Hold tight fellas, 2nd amendment is on its way to save your arse!!!
Maybe you Brits should brexit and come across the pond. Used to be immigration didn't require paperwork of the Leftist Regime of King Hussein, but the winds of change have arrived and we still welcome responsible freedom loving men and women who want to work instead of collecting off of some government teat supplied by confiscating the income of the people who earn their livings.
