ARROWS vs ARMOUR 2 - How powerful is a Warbow?

Video Description

‘Arrows vs Armour’ is back and we are shooting medieval war arrows at the top half of an armoured knight using armour and arrows that are correct in every detail; but what about the bow?. The main film shows exactly what happened but was the bow too powerful? There are no existing medieval longbows, not one. So we have to guess from the best of our knowledge and experience what weight bow Joe should shoot and we have deliberately chosen power at 160lbs. But would a weaker bow be powerful enough to injure our knight? We set out to find out, by shooting at a sheet steel target. We have also put together a website hosting all the films, documents, supplier contacts and biographies for this series of films https://todtodeschini.com/youtube-projects/arrows-v-armour-2/ Arrows vs Armour 2 – Main film https://youtu.be/ds-Ev5msyzo Arrows vs Armour 2 – Armour plate tests https://youtu.be/C0TfSW0FfiA Arrows vs Armour 2 – Mail tests https://youtu.be/qiyOIZ4Vm_I Arrows vs Armour 2 – Arrowhead tests https://youtu.be/30RuqOH-7xw Produced by https://todcutler.com and https://todsworkshop.com Music: Rise - by TwinsMusic - Licenced from Bensound.com
