#longbow
Given my name, I am compelled to say the longbow.
British people: what should be designated as the state weapon of your county?
what's voting in the US like? well...

i was going to say longbow but then someone said spitfire... but to answer in the spirit most are: faint praise.

This reminds me, I haven’t done my mandatory 2 hours of longbow practice this week.

Fun fact: we can more reliably tell if a skeleton regularly used a longbow than we can determine sex

Government: Have you prepared for war?
Me: Yes, I've got stockings, cigarettes, coal, tallow and a Dutch-Canadian language guide so I know how to thank the liberators.
Friend; You've prepared for the wrong war Jo, again.
Me: Oh, oops, so should I get a longbow in stead?

Possibly beside the point, but I am terrified of a longbow-using skeleton, regardless of sex

Just ordered two more books:
Douglas Wilmer's autobiography/memoirs and Robert Hardy's 'Longbow'.

NEW EPISODE! Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters takes Star City’s rabble-rousing social crusader with trick arrows and replaces him with a grouchy “urban hunter” who shoots to kill (or at least maim) on the mean streets of Seattle. Very grim and/or gritty!

They were right to shelf it. That's clearly a longbow.

what is the tinybaby longbow thing

I’m possibly slightly biased, but I’m going to suggest that the only ✅ answer is my 🏹 first and true ❤️, the English Longbow!

Well, being a Nottinghamshire gal it would _have_ to be a longbow, wouldn’t it?

REALLY tempted by this spoil of war

Why shouldn’t I have a silly walk, after all

I hear they fired this Longbow with a rope attached and it randomly struck Riyo

Not a person experiencing British Ness but the obvious answer for England is the Longbow. Scotland the Claymore maybe?

Concerning what English longbow archers were like during the 100 years war... can't argue with that. <3

The police helicopter flew over me, circled back and hovered over me, presumably checking my scope wasn't a longbow.

So interesting factoid. Apparently arrows slip through sandbags where bullets get stopped.

So if you're dealing with those kinds of barriers, a longbow isn't a bad solution.

Well, if you believe The Walking Dead, the longbow is quite a fine choice.

The longbow get fucked tinybaby it’s really good actually. We all have one and we take them out to conventions where we compare them, talk about them as if they have personalities and exchange techniques. Everyone does this.

Yes, have the longbow and a good supply of arrows. You'll want to practice some and nothing undermines the efficacy of a weapon like not having the ammunition when you want it.

A very happy birthday to you, Joey! And thank you for reminding me to dust off my longbow

The various martial arts schools all teach different weapons, though there are a few common ones like the longbow or specific types of one-handed sword. Though nearly all the schools also put emphasis on unarmed combat, and the most infamous of var are at their best bare-handed.
