In this episode of Fantasy Re-armed we take a look a few different ways the warbow and medieval archery could be adapted into fantasy, could you use a shield with one, or use the bow itself as an effective melee weapon?

What we would call a dress in the modern day was not considered clothing for just women in the medieval period, in fact many men wore dress like garments such as a tunic, bliaut, houppelande, surcoat, kirtle, jupon and Tabard. So if they were so common, could you fight in them?

Some people say you cannot shoot a warbow as accurately on the right side of the bow, or outside of the bow, compared to the left side, or inside. So shooting arrows that don't have the correct spine and weight should make this doubly impossible, right?
