Shields; Distance and speed loss

We shot the shield and the arrows went through, but many comments were made about the distance being short and the shield not being angled or wrongly made - well I listened...... This film explains my thinking; we shoot the shield out to 100m and look at the speed and energy loss of the arrows over distance. You asked, and the ’Lockdown Longbow’ trials have answered! This crossbow shoots medieval longbow arrows at the same speeds as a heavy English Longbow and if you want to see the proof watch this If you want to help support this channel, I sell excellent medieval replica knives and weapons and you could always shop :// If you like the T-shirts Or for highly correct and authentic custom pieces have a look here Data table weight in grams, Velocity in ms, momentum in Kgm/s, energy in Joules, velocity drop in % Type 7 94g, Type 9 85g, M2 73g Distance Leaving bow Arrow Velocity Momentum Energy Velocity drop Angle Type 7. 54. 5.1. 137. 0. 0 Type 9. 55. 4.7. 129. 0. 0 M2 59 4.3 127 0 0 25m Arrow Velocity Momentum Energy Velocity drop Angle Type 7. 51. 4.8. 128. 5.6 0 Type 9. 54. 4.6. 126. 1.8 0 M2 57. 4.2. 119 3.4 0 50m Arrow Velocity Momentum Energy Velocity drop Angle Type 7. 51. 4.8. 128. 5.6 6 Type 9. 51. 4.3. 116. 7.3 6 M2 54. 3.9. 109 8.5 6 75m Arrow Velocity Momentum Energy Velocity drop Angle Type 7. 48. 4.5. 108. 11.1 11 Type 9. 50. 4.3. 106. 9.1 11 M2 51. 3.7. 99 13.6 11 100m Arrow Velocity Momentum Energy Velocity drop Angle Type 7. 43. 4.0. 86. 20.4 15 Type 9. 46. 3.9. 91. 16.4 15 M2 50. 3.7. 91 15.3 15
