New Year Shooting at the Medieval Butts
Ian.:
I suppose you know who Horace Ford is, If anyone liked the man so much as to use his name then they will also
be very much a target archer and will not understand the medieval bow, which is obviously why he has to pick at the
Medieval Butts name.

Not at all .... I'm merely pointing out that your advertising shooting at medieval butts when actualy your shooting at hay bales. I'd of thought historical accuracy would be important to The EWBS

why is it some people have to be argumentative for no good reason, what Alistair and Jeremy are doing is a fun shoot meant to challenge the archers, the fact that a hesian covered hay bail is being used is irrelevent, what is relevent is the distance of 220 yards.
Also if we want to get picky about stuff you could also say that all the test data in the great warbow book by Hardy and Strickland is worthless as the bows being shot are all American yew and to us here in England, America did not exist at that time (no offence to all our American cousins). As we do know this is very relevent info but is not stickly accurate.
Anyway well done for what you are both doing Al & Jez.
