Ruddy Darter:
...some levied archers of Cheshire and Flint 1330's,

Pat B:
Ruddy, do you have a pic of that era at full draw. Full draw is what I do want.

Lucasade:
If it's drama you want I seem to remember a picture of a dysentry-ridden bowman at full draw with his trousers round his ankles on the Agincourt anniversary website!

Ruddy Darter:
I've had a good scout around on Google and just can't seem to find a good pic of full draw, either its the wrong angle or the legs are cut out the pic  :-\, I did find another pic of a copy of the Chesire and Flint levied archer, he done a good job replicating it so may be of help with the costume. I will keep an eye out for a good pic, what's preferred...a point blank aim at a closing enemy or a distance shot with elavation?

Ruddy Darter:
Here's a great picture of Heffalump off Del's blogspot ( copyright permission kindly granted by Del 8) :D) at full draw with back leg straight and elevation from the waist, if the back leg is bent to get elevation I regard this as poor form(my opinion).
A good one of Del at point blank.
One of Joe Gibbs really pushing into a heavy bow, quite dramatic looking in my opinion.
And one of Simon Stanley who has top posture when loosing arrows.
You will see a slight variation in draw, Heffalump has a long draw length so doesn't anchor as far back as Joe, this is the only reason for this difference.
Maybe costume can be superimposed on these?,
Hope this is helpful
