While very effective, it also took a HUGE amount of training to master using the bow and arrow in this manner. What made the bow and arrow so deadly during the Battle of Agincourt was the fact the English used the Welsh long bow, which had a lot of range and large company of bowmen armed with them could take down anything at over 100 yards range.
