From what I can recall of the documentary i watched i think that the accuracy of the the long bowmen at agincourt was not really there strength but there numbers - the muddy ground In front of the french bristled with thousands of arrows making many foot knights stumble as they tried to engage the english - I get the impression that the english archers on whole were firing in the general direction of the enemy, and not pinpointing individual troops I suppose its a bit like using a shotgun instead of sniper rifle - I dont necessarily know if im right about that. I saw a book on agincourt the other day that i should have bought but i bought one on Germanic tribes instead - It was Cheaper.

Anything Ive ever heard about early firearms doesnt make them sound all that great, Dirty, noisy, unreliable and dangerous - Makes me wonder why bother?
