You know, longbows are the reason the English did so well against the French. For example, in the Hundred Years War, sure the French eventually beat the English, but I mean, they lost a lot more than England did. The French outnumbered the English pretty badly. Longbows were the "secret" of the English's success. Also, Agincourt, the English massacred the enemies guys (they were French, right... yeah it was the French... yeah...., correct me if I am wrong, but I think I'm right). Conclusion? Longbows pwn!
