The English Longbow provided an advantage against the mounted French knights in the battles of Poitiers and Agincourt.

- Easy to make
- faster to shoot with accuracy
- very cheap
Notably, history has it that it was used famously at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 and previously in the wars of the Sluys, Crécy and Poitiers in 1340, 1346, and 1356 respectively.
Through the ages, these longbows were no longer fully effective and sustainable due to the easy wear and tear of the bows and therefore were been replaced in the 16th century to firearms made of gunpowder.
