And it was actually good - 2 more episodes to follow ...

I liked the chap with the long bow. His voice was a bit unexpected, I thought it would be more Brian Blessed
Strain of pulling that bow?
Didn't realise that was the origin of 'freelancer'...
I was unaware of it (and, obviously, not paying attention) until I spotted this post last night, so only caught the last twenty minutes or so.
Enjoyed what I saw and I expect that most of us shooters also love and respect bows. I have a budget bow (30lbs draw weight I think) which I've not used in years. I'd guess the limbs will be cream crackered by now as I never de-strung it!
I'll try and watch the repeat on Sunday and next week it's onto guns!!
I wonder if we see any mention of those old pre-charged military Airguns? That WOULD be awesome!

“An airgun or two”………
140 lb draw bow was quite impressive
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Anyone who missed it can watch it on the iPlayer. BBC4.
No neither did I .
Keep learning these odd things about our language and many words or phrases associated with warfare or fighting . Brass monkeys is a favourite .
Still wonderin about ' a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ' ..... a Tudor hand grenade in the the hand worth it for lobbing at Spanish spies in the
bushes ?? ?
Go on - at least I tried !
Repeat on in three minutes!
