Did you know that the English longbow was the “machine gun” of the medieval era, with its effectiveness being far greater than the crossbow?
The English longbow, typically made of yew wood, was one of the most powerful weapons in the Middle Ages that could change the course of battles. Measuring up to six feet in length, this weapon was highly regarded for its power and accuracy—trained archers could accurately shoot their target from over 200 yards.
