It’s British Pathé Tuesday, and time for some Cholmondley Warner-style bowmaking, fletching and archery from 1961 in glorious Technicolor, fetching outfits, and staggeringly RP accents. Enjoy.

Reblogged this on My Archery Experiences and commented:
Great find and blast from the past.
Brilliant!
The accent threw me at the end (2:57):
“Such is the skill of these archers, such is the accuracy of their bows, that we *rarely* get a bullseye view”.
Re-listening it must be ‘really’, not ‘rarely’.
Now, must get a turkey and some white fletching gloves…

Brilliantness, simply brilliantness. A great find.
