@chikara @Fslowly Beautiful drawing and a nice poetic post. Practice is important indeed.

Middle Age English commoners were forced to do some hours of archery practice on Sunday, after the expected Church services.

They were the reserve, the militias the king would call in when needed.

English Long Bow men were legendary, their bow power drove arrows thru armour and into the opposing Cavalry, decimating them.

Agincourt was a major battle decided purely by this; the french lost their Noble chevaliers and were sadly defeated by disciplined and trained commoners.
