Unlike men-at-arms, bowmen are not equipped from the armories of the castle and turn up to battle in all manner of garb. Likewise, their longbows will often be their own possessions, handed down from father to son (though it is a rich family that can afford more than a single bow) and accordingly can be of variable quality. Like men-at-arms, peasant bowmen are not very reliable if left to their own devices, but under the stern gaze of a knight they can aspire to adequate, though not exceptional, deeds.
