Added 2020-05-18 13:29:04 +0000 UTCAlthough this outfit is riddled with historical inaccuracies, I do actually partake in medieval re-enactment. Or did rather, its been a while. I have my own longbow (30lbs draw weight) and a 3/4 training sword, I'm okay with the bow but I only know the most basic of guards with the sword. Women weren't expected to fight but many women could shoot bows. All men over the age of 8 were expected to practise shooting on Sundays after church and could incur a penalty for not doing so. The average English archer would shoot an 80lbs bow repeatedly, and in battle it was said the sky would be black with falling arrows. Take that to your next pub quiz 🤣
