Is that an English longbow, or a child’s model?

I think they were over 6’ long and had over a 100# pull weight. It took years of training to be able to shoot them well.

...reclaim some of the ill-gotten gains of the wealthy.

If I remember my Robin Hood correctly, he robbed the tax collectors and returned the "taxes" to the people from whom they were originally taken.
