Longbows in history

We have recently posted a new installment in the "Weapon of the Month" series.

Hello, as an update to the site we have posted an article on Longbows. It was a weapon that could be constructed very easily with natural materials and, when paired to a professional archer, owned the battlefield during the entire period from the end of the medieval times up until the dawn of modern firearm dominated 17th Century warfare.

You can view the article here,

As a piece of Military Trivia - When the highly talented Czech general Ian Zizka died in 1434, his skin

was tanned and used to top a drum, so that he could continue to lead his

troops.

Now that is marching to a different beat.
