Shoot a Selfbow, embrace Wood Arrows, discover Vintage, be a Trendsetter.

Damn there goes 40 mins more of my life!!! 
Still got more to watch yet. Great stuff Grahame, interesting with the contrasting styles and nationalities . Just makes me more interested in the type of bow used.

Thanks for the link.
Great video, not just the archery but the whole experience.
Would love to attend one of these shoots.

Common sense; so rare it should be considered a superpower.

Morning All.
I would suggest that it may be worthwhile to add that Video to your home library - and save on the downloads - as it is one of those that is/are handy for reference uses later.

Just watched the last 20 mins. Fascinating and seems at least one of the 'froggie' archers performed very well indeed. Health and Safety would have a field day there! In another life I would go there and experience it all.
