I found this while parousing youtube. Kind of amusing

I love the part where it shows the guns not penetrating but the broad headed Arrow does. That's a great testimony
Interesting video. Thanks.
Fun bit of history.
Back in the Revolutionary war period Benjamin Franklin proposed equipping the Continental Army with bows: dramatically faster rate of fire, longer effective range, easily produced, higher reliability and all at lower cost. Smart man.
As a kid, I heard about this type of testing, but this is the first time I have actually seen anything "official". Pretty cool, huh?
I saw this one some time ago. Pretty neat piece of history. Thanks for posting!
:o
What a great video!
Man if I could get my hands on some of those explosive heads, I would be in business :biglaugh:
I enjoyed that. Thanks for posting!
My Stepdad was a chopper pilot in Vietnam, he told me a story once about dropping a single SF guy off in the jungle with a nothing more than a recurve and a handful of arrows. Of course he also drank a lot and took a pretty good shot to the head in 'Nam so he might have just recalling a scene from Rambo II. :biglaugh:
If not mistaken, there was use of bows and arrows during WW II European theatre by special units and there was recorded at least 1 actual enemy kill. Will have to do some research....
Here we go again. Google "Mad Jack" Churchill.
Riverboat guys set fires along the river banks with flaming arrows to remove VC sniper positions.

Typical Hollywood sound effects, but a good comparison of a lethal arrow..
