Description: In 1461 at The Battle of Towton, a decisive victory was won by the Yorkists by using a gale to their advantage to carry their arrows much further than their enemies - great story, but could it be true? Clearly a strong wind will make a difference, but by how much? I take my bow and shoot one particularly windy morning to find out.
