My Book 'Secrets of the English War Bow' contains some information, including photographs of penetration achieved, and I know that Mark Stretton has done much work in that connection. I also believe there to be a DVD produced by Hilary Greenland following some experimental work a few years ago. I will check on this and get back.

Also, for my purposes the test needs to have been contucted with the approiate padding under the mail.

Don't know about the scientific value in these videos. But they are entertaining. _________________ Rolv |

I suggest that you e-mail Hilary Greenland and enquire about her CD's. I think you will find them useful. Check via her website.
