ARROWS vs ARMOUR 2 - ARROWHEAD MATERIAL TESTS

‘Arrows vs Armour’ is back and we are shooting medieval war arrows at the top half of an armoured knight using armour and arrows that are correct in every detail. The main film shows exactly what happened to the armour and the arrows. But this film is about the arrow head material itself. Arrow heads were mostly made from wrought iron, but this is quite soft and steel would certainly be better. Laws were passed asking for steel yet there is very little evidence they actually used it, but what difference does it make? We use the results to help inform our discussions. We have also put together a website hosting all the films, documents, supplier contacts and biographies for this series of films Arrows vs Armour 2 – Main film Arrows vs Armour 2 – Armour plate tests Arrows vs Armour 2 – Mail tests Arrows vs Armou
