Nice, Matt! I'll have to take a look at the archery treatises. (Even if the longbow is inferior in every respect to the recurved bows of the Turks )

It's not the bow, but rather the man. One Englishman is worth 20 Turks .

The Potuguese royal Dom Duarte describes how to hunt down wild beasts from horse in his Bem Cavalgar.

The Swissman Wittenwiller aka Wittenwiler did a hunting treatise of his own.
