[Archers] BBC: 1944 Henry V Still Photos Found

I suspect posing for the camera.
There are other problems, notably the third archer from the left, who really
needs to pay more attention to what he's doing.

Noble Friends,

Today the BBC has a brief story about the rediscovery of still photos from
the 1944 Olivier version of Henry V: 
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-32751979 . Sadly, the
article only reproduces three of the photos. Two are views of the archers,
showing what appear to be excellent period costumes. Curiously, most of the
archers have their archers on the right side of their bows (Mongolian
style), though they are otherwise shooting right-handed. 
Hmmm. After seeing the videos of that Dutch speed shooter, I tried this on
my basement range and put both arrows into the wall. Enough of that
foolishness.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, The Archer of Mallard Lodge
