    How about this: Scotts vs. English, it was mentioned that Scotts got decimated by arrows, as they stood the ground on a small hill the whole day. French vs. English: the archers could kill the Men-at-Arms "with their hammer" as the latter are tangled in a mass. But during the crusades, the Western bows were never mentioned as superior or a decisive actor in any victory.

    Oh, and I forgot, it was not mentioned that the French were killed by arrows from a far (the so called longbow range superiority). The French were massacred during Agincourt battle when they were very close to the English line, piled up, ready to be shot or hammered.
