Longbow - Legacy

Legacy

The longbow and its historical significance, arising from its effective use by the English and Welsh during the Hundred Years' War, have created a lasting legacy for the longbow, which has given its name to modern military equipment, including:

• The AH-64D Apache Longbow, an attack helicopter;
• The AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire, an air-to-ground missile; and
• The Dakota Longbow T-76, a sniper rifle.
