Mary Rose arrow number AZ472/19

<< < (2/2)

Yeomanbowman:
Thanks Gents!

Pat,  I contacted the Mary Rose Trust about the matter of finding an extant arrow that would be representative of the modal average of their 600 plus analysed shafts and they very kindly gave me the information for AZ472/19.

I would appreciate any results that anyone gets if they also make a reproduction.

Am I right in thinking that the Warbow Wales group is going to adopt AZ472/19 as their default livery specification?
It seem very sensible if they do.

Yes, that's correct.  We are keen to promote strong shooting with military arrows, along with other historical events, at our shoots.  To this end, we have made a 100lb wych elm and 80lb ash bow sturung with hemp and some extra AZ472/19 arrows that will be available for people to try for distance.

Hugh Soar was keen that we should also shoot the Standard Arrow so we will be using this as an arrow to be shot from whatever longbow/string an archer wishes.
