If bows are your thing, one of 'those questions' would be what would it look like to get shot at by a body of archers? Well to some extent this may answer that.

I was on a reenactment at Kentwell Hall with a load of friends so we got the bows and the cameras out and filmed 10 archers shooting at a helmet. Sorry about the quality from inside the helmet, but hopefully it gives you a flavour.

My interpretation is that you would have enough time to know that trouble was swiftly coming, but not enough time to know which one the lethal arrow was going to be.

Thanks for taking part guys.

Kentwell Hall is where my reenacting started and the reason that I make medieval weaponry now - a very special place to me and thanks for letting me film kentwell.co.uk
