It must be remembered that the Warbow was never used to stop a cavalry charge. It was there to disrupt it. Along with trenches, which were used at many set battles in the Hundred years war, it was used to break up and disorganise the French conroi who wanted to keep as close together and compact as possible to allow maximum power in penertrating the English line. The bringing down of one horse, which would always be aimed for not the man at arms or knight, could cause chaos within the initial charge. The mounted knight loosing his speed in shock action, would be surrounded by at least 3 dismounted English knights or Welsh and Cornish spearmen such as at Crecy where they would overwhelm him and move on to the next wounded rider.

Even though the power of the English armies lay in their mass ranks of bowmen do not think that were inferior archers individually. These men were often trained from infancy with the bow and were reknown for their accuracy in battle ofter calling out enemy targets to their fellow archers. The great warbow never really met the eastern bow in a pitched batttle so we will never know who had the edge. Of course a mounted eastern archer would have an advantage in speed and movement on his side but i feel dismounted would still have to weather a hell of an arrow storm
