English Longbow backfires! Very Funny!

Safety tip to all archers! Ensure your arrows don't knock too tight or this will be the result and you'll look a complete tit like me! I actually hesitated thinking how tight the knock was on the serving!

for the record, longbows originated in wales, not england

[barrylee84]

The Welsh became famous as users of the Longbow against the English during Edward I campaigns there. However there been many finds of Iron age graves in peat bogs in the low countries, the Alps and Scandinavia. Radio Carbon dating has proved them to predate the Middle-ages. Suffice to say, the Longbow or "English longbow" as it most commonly known today, has no definitive origin.

Luckily, several months on after regular use, there doesnt seem to be any lift on the laminations on the limbs or cracks, Ive just been very lucky.

For goodness sake get a proper camera.

Well if anyone tries to attack you from behind you've got it covered.

@Inky95

the "English Longbow" actually showed up around the same time in southern England, Wales, the Cherokee nations and the Chinese coast at about the same time.

That is at least going by what my archery teacher told me.

Only England used it properly. Unless you count bison hunting...

[bluetube01]

@Inky95 The longbow was used thousands of years ago, long before the Welsh or English existed.

@Inky95 For the record, it doesn't really matter.
