Field archery would be so much more entertaining, in fact they could combine it with the mountain biking course  >:D.... bloke in gorilla costume pedals past... twack thud :laugh:

These guys are right. There isnt that much to say about the long bow in English martial history that hasnt been said before, and in 15 minutes, very little you can do. But you can blow them away if you take a very novel approach to all this. Remember that a documentary is a story, and good storytelling is the key, not a regurgitation of many, many other shows you may have seen. A turning point can be huge and splashy, like the Guttenberg press or the invention of penecillan or the invention of the steam engine or the invention of the atomic bomb, or something really subtle that took a long time to become obviously important and world changing. And who says turning points have to be giant, anyway? The invention of the potatoe chip is an example I can think of that revolutionized the world and is now contributing to heart disease and all that bad stuff, but was just a chef's frustration with a difficult customer at the resort he cooked at, or the hot dog bun, which was only because a sausage vendor at a fair got tired of having customers steal his white gloves and the high cost of laundering them.

Wench, stickbender. We all need wenches.

JW_Halverson:
Wenches, and scwewdwivews too!

Another little known factoid: The US Army did some experimenting with archery in WWII for some of the recon people.
