'We Shot 3 Bows Spanning 3,000 Years of History (BADLY!)'
"And that is why archery is difficult..."
With the help of historical interpreter Andy Deane, History Hit's Luke Tomes and Louee Dessent travelled to the medieval tiltyard outside the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds to test their skills in an unforgettable archery competition.
The rules are simple. Each competitor will have one attempt to hit the target using an Ancient Egyptian bow, a Mongol recurve bow and the English Longbow (famously used at the Battle of Agincourt).
Who will prove themselves to be the History Hit's elite archer?
