87lb@27" French longbow of the 14th century repro

(1/2) > >>

Often forgotten today, the Franc Archers did use longbows during the hundred years war, but not as extensively as the English. The French and Burgundians also employed English longbowmen, and other European mercenaries for their missile troops such as Genoese crossbowmen and even early handcannons.

bownarra:
That bow  :o.....might I suggest that the person who made that needs a bit more practise before selling bows...I'd want to be suited up like a French knight before pulling that....

simk:
Basically looking like a typical english longbow. How does a french longbow differentiate from english longbow basically? Thanks 😃

Hamish:
That's easy. The ELB smells like fish n chips. The French smells like garlic snails. ps nobody likes the French longbow.

I'm 1/16th French, so I'm not racist.(yes French isn't a race, but that's not the point) (lol)
