Ye olde longbow....excellent against kilted antagonists.

Makes no noise. Accurate enough. Cheap reusable ammo.

We have a proper yew twig. 120 lbs draw, and wrought iron arrow heads made by our own paw...

One problem with longbows is that they are... long. Certainly not what you'd want in confined areas but great in the open.

23,000 dead frogs * can't be wrong.

Agreed that the French are wrong ( generally ) but 23000 seems on the high side for that particular encounter.

Their own statistics...

Really? I was under the impression of a maximum of 10k french dead but I could well be wrong. Anyway, slight deviation from the thread subject so...

Depends upon the timescale, ooman. !0,000 dead on the day is quite plausible, but remember, arrows rarely killed quickly. 'Twas more likely that an arrow would render the target hors de combat and then the froggie would slink home and die of septicaemia several days / weeks later.

Sure, like the ongoing threat to uk farming from badger TB.

Just wondering where you got 23k from - not being an arse, genuinely curious and not for a second suggesting you are wrong.
