Leather Armor? (NO HOLDS BARRED!!)

[Felix]

The historical record is quite telling: in all the literature that I know of, there are exactly two accounts of arrows wounding a man armoured in plate where the arrow actually went through the plate.

Sooo.... the historical evidence says arrows CAN pierce plate? which means it's a myth, right?

hmmm.

I'm sorry. I will have to concede this point since it's not my area and largely irrelevant to the topic at hand, but it's a fascinating exercise in academic methodologies.

Thank you for admitting ignorance. By the by, neither arrow killed the victim, so the grand total for medieval bows vs. plates is zero confirmed kills.
