I'm sure it's built to handle the CIP limit as well as SAAMI. SAAMI +P limit is 38,500 psi/265 MPa. The SAAMI and CIP protocols are slightly different though. A SAAMI +P limit load tested using the...

Mixed. Archers did great at Crecy, Poitiers, and Agincourt, not so much at Verneuil, Patay, Formigny, and Castillon.

When called up, an archer was expected to bring his bow and a sheaf of arrows w his other equipment. May need several for a battle. Re supply through the crown's stock.

I was trying to keep it simple, arrows v ammo. Five days pay got you 24 shots at the enemy. That makes arrows pretty expensive, relatively speaking.

Gets trickier when we start talking about...

True. Artillery was very expensive too, and the rate of fire incredibly slow for the early stuff (hours per shot, not shots per hour).

At the 1356 Battle of Poitiers, artillery was available, but...

Cedar shafts are $36 doz, $290 per hundred. Bodkin points are $3-4 each (field points $30 per hundred), feathers are $50 per hundred. Then there's the glue and thread for the fletch and points, the...

In Lydia, 3 electrums was a month's pay for a soldier... so one electrum would be 10 days pay... a half electrum was 5 days pay.

Three electrum were about 14 grams, say 50/50 gold silver, that's...

In 1356 a sheaf of arrows (24) cost an archer 5 days pay.

An E-1 in the U.S. Army makes about $1500 month, or $250 for five days.

The cost of a basic load today is less, and gets you way more...

I doubt a lot of heavy equipment was used in this video. Looked like a bunch of trad archers showing up w what they have. In the USA, archery is mostly about hunting. In Europe, it's more about fun...

Yep. I've cleanly killed several deer w bows drawing 40 pounds. I limited my shots to 20 yds, my arrows were sharp, flew as straight as possible from a well tuned bow, and I put them where I wanted...

Lots of controversy about that. Lots of simulations w varying results. Quality of the armor varied greatly, as did the quality of the arrow shafts and heads, draw weight of the bows. The best plate...

I know more than a few people who miss the drama a lot. They want to see interesting people shoot, not just interesting shooting. They have to have a reason to care why a particular somebody wins or...

They shot longbows at a 30 ft target 100 yds away. Usually it's a 12 ft target 180 yds away, give or take a bit. Unless your Korean, where it's a 1m target 150m away... which is why the Koreans...
