Medieval Arrows
Medieval arrows were varied, from needle bodkins to incendiary arrows. They penetrated chain and plate armor and were also used for hunting and exercises. Our shop offers authentic replicas of these historic medieval arrows and points, handcrafted by our experts.
Medieval arrows - the ancients
Medieval archers used arrows with forged tips in a variety of designs. For example, an arrow equipped with a needle bodkin could easily penetrate chain mail or, under favorable conditions, plate mail. The incendiary arrows, which destroyed entire castle complexes, villages and towns during military conflicts, were probably just as effective and destructive. In addition to war arrows, medieval arrows include hunting arrows and training arrows. Probably the most important find of bows and arrows from the Middle Ages comes from the shipwreck of the Mary Rose, which sank in 1545. It was a Henry VIII warship. During the salvage operation (1982), over 3,500 preserved arrows and 137 completely preserved longbows came to light.
Here in the shop we offer you an extensive range of authentic medieval arrows and tips, which have been modeled in detail on the historical models and are made entirely by hand by our arrow makers in-house.
