A longbow is a type of bow made from a single natural piece of wood that is roughly equal to the height of a person who uses it.
The English used massed longbows to great effect during the Hundred Years' War, against the French, particularly at the start of the war in the battles of Crecy (1346) and Poitiers (1356), and most famously at the Battle of Agincourt (1415). An archers trained in using the longbow is called a longbowman.

What replaced the bow and arrow and when was it replaced?
Ultimately, the bow and arrow fell to the ever-growing arsenal of gunpowder weapons, but the transition was slow. For a long time, gunpowder weapons remained unreliable and inaccurate so, despite the ability to penetrate the metal body armor of the time, engagement ranges were limited by inaccurate weapons. Further compounding the issue was the length of time needed to reload early firearms; a well-trained longbowman could nock and fire several arrows, possibly even a dozen or more, in the time needed to reload a firearm of the day with a single shot.
Why can you not point your middle finger?
It's considered rude and an offense in many cases. It's kind of like calling someone a bad word, only your not saying anything. It means "F*** You" and those words aren't nice. It's origin came from the Hundred Year's War. When the elite British longbowmen were captured by the French, they would cut off their middle finger, as that was the finger they used to draw back the bowstring with. When a Frenchman walked passed a captured longbowman, he would point his middle finger, the Frenchman bragging that he still had a middle finger. It's been considered an offense ever since.
What were the 3 types of fighting men during the middle ages?
There were knights, who made up heavy cavalry. There were different kinds of infantry, depending on how heavily they were armored. Also, some infantry carried weapons especially designed to deal with knights. There were different kinds of archers, bowmen, longbowmen, and crossbowmen. A bowman was not quite the same as a longbowman, because the longbow required a lot of practice to be strong enough to use it. Artillery in most of the medieval times consisted of catapults of varying kinds. Some of these were huge and could throw the whole body of a dead cow. Others had projectiles like arrows. In the end, of course, there were cannons. Ensigns carried flags, drummers carried drums, pipes and trumpets were also used. All of these were for signaling.
What are the disadvantages of using a longbow?
There are a few. Firstly and probably the most profound is the fact that compared to a compound or a recurve the weight that you hold on your draw is that of the bow. A compound you hold virtually nothing and a re-curve you hold 2/3 of the weight. Therefore if you don't hold your bow correctly and you haven't practiced and have the muscle memory going the effects of your shoots will vary. Shooting with the same stance and draw and repeating is the key to consistency with a longbow. However there are great advantages to a longbow. The range on the longbow is far greater than other bows. And the consistency of the power does not drop off during the shot making the shots more powerful over a distance. The first month of shooting is the hardest learning to feel your bow. As a longbowman you will not be able to hold the weight on the string for to long there for instinct plays a huge role feeling your shots. When you release you will get a feeling it will hit the middle and it does you have to train that feeling and it just happens.
