    Huh. I’d have thought wading throw a hip-height river with a drawn bow would be just about the absolute worst for a longbow. But maybe it’s not that bad if you get through fast enough?

      I’m pretty sure damaging your bow while fighting your way across the river is better than keeping it sheathed while getting slaughtered by the French.
      I’m also pretty sure they had spare bows in their wagon train.
