Typical ST for a war bow?

[Tomsdad]

Sorry another necro with more videos from the same channel

(they crowd sourced to do more extended version of the last one)



Here's the main one, where they shoot arrows as set of armour of mixed mail and plate

But there are some shorter supplementary videos that go into some of the aspects in more detail and the thinking behind their choices and methodology

Warbows, draw weight etc

arrows vs. flat metal plates of various types, to establish baseline of performance of the materials

Arrow head materials test to establish base lines

Arrows vs. mail of couple of types again to establish base lines


Bearing in mind the harness in transitional (lots of mail), but pretty interesting stuff.

I particularly liked the details like a proper Aventail with almost rigid mail and backing giving pretty significantly different results to other bits of mail



Sorry I've not been around much so these may have already cropped up in threads

Anyway cheers

EDIT: I may have tacked this on to the a different thread from the one I linked their first test on, but it's a good enough thread (here's the link to the first test they did anyway)
