Shields; Distance and speed loss

We shot the shield and the arrows went through, but many comments were made about the distance being short and the shield not being angled or wrongly made - well I listened......

This film explains my thinking; we shoot the shield out to 100m and look at the speed and energy loss of the arrows over distance.

You asked, and the 'Lockdown Longbow' trials have answered!

This crossbow shoots medieval longbow arrows at the same speeds as a heavy English Longbow and if you want to see the proof watch this https://youtu.be/l9vWXVbvOas
