Arrows vs Armour is back! to shoot proper arrows at properly made armour, including the helmet, visor and collar. In this film Toby Capwell and myself talk about the helmet and the project and what we are likely to see and learn.
This project is unique in that it has TV budgets and TV crew filming it, but without TV producers and script writers telling us what to say and it will be presented by Tod, Toby Capwell and the crafts people who actually made and know about the pieces.
This comprehensive test will show how effective the helmet and neck armour was and whether it can be penetrated during the best and most exciting test we are able to construct, we even get to see and hear from inside the helmet. It is now the turn of the head and neck armour to get pounded for REAL, not ‘TV real’.
You will of course get to see the main film here on You Tube, but please have a look at the Kickstarter page to see everything we have planned and all the amazing rewards on offer from back stage footage and Directors cut versions of the film to shooting Tod's Trebuchet
and the most ridiculous reward bundle of all time.
The English longbow is laden with myth; of its origins, its power, its achievements. The captains and commanders that once knew its’ true power in physical and in military terms, are long dead. The knowledge is lost. But we will find it again with real armour, amazing archers, stout arrows and every detail captured on multiple and slo-mo cameras.
Please be part of the Arrows vs Armour team; please help make it happen.

The original Arrows vs Armour film was self funded and can be found here: youtu.be/DBxdTkddHaE
We imagined what we could do with funding, so we asked and you delivered, but now we have enough - thank you.
