It's actually the most comprehensive test I've seen of longbow vs armor that seems to scientically done.

Good comprehensive test.
Unfortunately the bow used is under poundage and under draw length IMO, and probably represents only the very weakest of the Mary Rose bows.
Mind even with that it does demonstrate lethality.

Thanks guys for all your replies! There was one post in here that showed a light warbow through a chrono, and that is what I was looking for. I realize it is not as ethical to hunt with a a warbow. I also realize it is not as important for a war arrow to travel faster (hence a chrono test), but I was curious! Nice to see at least one test on here. Would like to see at least 100# at 32" through a chrono with 1/2" war arrows eventually! Thanks again for your replies!

He made it pretty clear (and did some headache inducing math to back it up) that he was accounting for the difference in power by shooting from closer.
