This is a picture of the type of bows used in the Archery contest.
It bears no resemblance to any bow I have ever seen and absolutely no resemblance to the bows used by English Archers.
This is a bow used by the Archers at Agincourt. Its more like the one I imagined Olympic archers used, How wrong was !?
In the Olympics you get 4 minutes to shoot 6 arrows. At Agincourt you would have to put in more effort unless you wanted a French sword where the sun don’t shine!
