  Man, you guy's are a piece of work. ::) You are really different then us in the States. Most of us on this board over here would be happy that one of the contributers got to participate on the History Channel. We know 90% of television is B.S. Just look at our politicians. :D  The majority of the people in the world, outside of England don't really care how fast a longbow shoots. I thought it was entertaining, and I don't know about ya'lls little ******* war.

lol

That's why we don't have guns over here; if we all had guns the entire population would be wiped out in a matter of weeks ;-)

The Navy seal chap in the clip should ask for a refund on his steroids - They only seem to work on his neck (That's a joke BTW)
One a different note I saw some of the Mary Rose bows yesterday at a local exhibition and although I was expecting pretty rough looking bows they looked really well finished and the largest which oddly had one modern horn nock fitted from testing one presumes, looked like it could have shot extremely fast. A truly enormous bow it must have been the potentially 180lb i've seen mentioned in the books.

Aosda:
An excellent segment.  I love the history channel, sometimes you just have to filter the information and not take everything they say for fact.  I enjoyed watching Steve shoot, and his long distance grouping was pretty impressive.  Congrats on being asked to do a show for History Channel.

I finally got to view the video clip and I must say Congratulations to the fellows shooting the longbows for the segment.
Nicley done and very impressive and informative.

BTW, as far as the History Channel goes, at least it attempts to put out some information on historical events and, perhaps, this may draw a few younger folks into our sport.

Also, the host of the show was a Green Beret, not a Navy Seal... bit of a difference between the two branches of the services...
