I'm a bit ticked off at the whole 8 year old boys fighting. PJ you do realise the term "strong lad able to bear arms" means 16 years at the youngest. I know that this is to show how desperate the situation is but come on.<P>Also did anyone notice the the order to release the arrows is given as FIRE. "Fire what?" should have been the reply because you are not setting fire to anything whren you use a bow. The term fire dates from the seventeenth century when muskets were used and you had to FIRE the powder to get it to shoot.<BR>I personally have tosay i'm a bit disappointed in John Howe for this. He gave out to some armourers for using welding because it wasn't correct for the period and he had a rant on the FOTR commentary for the noise that a sword being drawn makes in a film yet the missed tis the most common mistake with films containing medieval style battles.
