New Year Shooting at the Medieval Butts
Ian.:
I don't know how you can possibly say that, If azncourt was fought in a wood with the french no more than 30 yards away then yep NFAS Field shooting is the way to go, unfortunately for you that never happened it all ways started at a distance, the English were expected to land an arrow within a group of calvery, medevil archers were professional and much better than we can hope to be, to them 220 Yds would be like 30 is to us,
You must have seen the video of Simon hitting a road sign at 200yds go to him and say it was a fluke,

The Butts in the illustration look more like bales of hay .....
are the medieval butts to be shot at on the 10th bales of hay or earth mound butts?

Bales of hay wrapped in hessian, though in the future they may be of earth construction.

.... then they're not butts .... just bales of hay wraped in hessian

Cant really respect the opinion of someone who has the screen name 'Horace Ford' in a Warbow section.
