Random Info on Adrenaline Rushes
Things like that are hard to research
Just I always wondered about adrenaline
And especially in relation to fights.
How much of an increased pain tolerance
Overall feeling it gives.
Some questions are super hard
To get answers to.
What does it feel like
To get hit with an arrow
And would the pain drive
Past adrenaline right away?
Not many people get shot
By longbows nowadays.
No one ever wrote
About their experiences
In the past.
I like to research everything.
English longbows were the most
Terrifying weapon ever.
There are records of arrow heads
Penetrating through three inches of oak
Or going through a guy's chain mail,
Leather leggings, leg, back out,
Through the saddle, and killing a horse.
We don't even have emoticons for that.
Even guns aren't as terrifying
Cause you can't see the bullets.
Imagine a rain of wooden shafts
Flying towards you –
Twelve arrows
Per minute
Per archer.
The fact that you can't see bullets
Makes a miss as good as a mile.
Just something I read once.
And there is the fact
That soldiers in the civil war
Stood their ground much longer
Than men would stand before arrows.
Agincourt and Crecy were amazing battles.
It's been my life long goal to be #editedbyclay and it finally happened! :D
If you haven't visited The Writer's Block, #editedbyclay is when our 
English longbows are fascinating to me. The power they had was phenomenal and allowed common people to kill fully armed and armoured knights. At close ranges the arrows just punched right through the steel armour.
