  • What do they use for the spearpoints on the pikes? I suppose they're not steel

  • Yes, they are made of steel!

  • That makes it quite dangerous, hasn't anyone lost an eye?

  • It has happened by accident. And the audience should realize that living history groups are not amateurs playing games but well trained people who need to have the understanding of the troops in the period as well as the requirements for safety and to also look convincing to the audience they're playing to.

  • We must commend all living history groups who are often mocked by student filmmakers and other tough guys without realizing the amount of training they have to go through to put on a good show. It is Britain at it's best.

  • It wasnt a counter attack it was an escape attempt that happened to break the scots lines.

  • Thank you very much for your response buidseach!

  • @buidseach It's very interesting. It would of hardly been completely redundant at these field battles using achers.

  • @Vendettare1 thats what i was thinking, some of the clansmen were still using longbows as they had a faster rate of fire but a shorter range.

  • @belisariusorb thats some funny shit right there .lol. lost a eye ? from a pike .ha! ha! ha !

  • Well done, sir. A very good film.

  • No archers?
