| Hamlet was given a couple of warriors, spearmen and bowmen to counter this latest example of English aggression. |
| In the ancestor of Olympic target archery, bowmen aimed at targets mounted on earthen butts at ranges of 100 to 140 yards. |
| The Magyars were bowmen and light cavalry experts from the Asian steppes, and their horses were mostly the Turkmen type. |
| The English army was composed largely of bowmen, whereas the French used virtually none. |
| The bowmen who were later to prove so deadly in France broke the Scots ranks, the Scottish cavalry fled, and the Welsh, seeing this, joined in the slaughter. |
| The success of the mailed knights and their bowmen was immediate. |
