<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Yes, 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""><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>
