A longbow can shoot an arrow up to 400 yards.
A longbow is a type of bow that is tall – about as tall as the person using it – and has a long, narrow shape. It is made from a single piece of wood, and the bowstring is attached to the ends of the bow.
A longbow can shoot an arrow a long way – up to about 300 yards (274 meters). That’s about as far as a football field.
Some people think that the longbow is a more powerful weapon than a crossbow, because it takes more strength to use a longbow. But the longbow can’t shoot as fast as a crossbow. So, it all depends on what you need the bow for.
If you want to shoot an animal for food, you might want a longbow, because it can kill the animal. But if you are in a battle, and you need to shoot arrows quickly, you might want a crossbow.

Now, let’s take a look at a real-life example. In the year 1257, during the Battle of Agincourt, the English were greatly outnumbered by the French. The English had a plan though. They positioned themselves in a narrow area with the longbow archers in the front. The French, not knowing the power of the longbow, kept coming. The English shot their arrows high into the air, and the arrows came down vertically onto the French troops. This caused great confusion and many French troops were killed. The longbow archers were able to shoot vertically quite high and this contributed to the English victory.
