Turns out, one of the cats unplugged my sound!<br>

I've always wondered about their fire rate. I think I've read
somewhere that medieval archers could keep six arrows in the air.
Froissart claimed that the arrows blackened the sky but that was
probably literary license. How much space separated the two
lines? I gather 100 yards was point blank range - how many did they
shoot before 100 yards? Of course, Agincourt appologists claim the
French knights died from mud.<br>

it has sound. The dialogue is poor by our standards.
Although the narrator pronounces his English very well, it
is delivered in the manner of a non-English native speaker
with unusual verb positions and truncated plurals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">This
is an interesting piece, but I question that such speed
shooting was common or even desirable, at least in western
Europe. Read what Mike Loades says about this in his new
longbow book.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">For
example, at Agincourt Henry V’s army had 5,000 archers who
supposedly were supplied with about 500,000 arrows. That
seems a lot, but it works out to about 100 arrows per man,
or a little over four sheaf arrow bags (24 arrows in each).
At the traditional speed of 10 arrows per minute, all the
archers would have exhausted their ammunition in less than
ten minutes. That’s faster than the arrow boys could deliver
more bags to the shooting line. They must have shot a lot
more slowly, possibly in rotation, some dropping back to
replenish their arrows as others stepped forward. During the
early part of the battle when shooting massed volleys, they
were likely to have been given orders on where to aim by
their captains, with a possible pace of about six arrows a
minute. During the mele, their shooting might have been
faster at some points and slower at others. Here they were
choosing their targets and waiting for the right moment to
take a clear shot at a vulnerable spot. The archers did
eventually run out of ammunition, but that happened later in
the battle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
