I'm curious as to how the modern technique of the English warbow has come about. There seems to be little information out there on the net at least. So if anybody could help with these questions I'd be very grateful:
1) How authentic is the modern warbow technique ?
By authentic I mean being close to how historians think a longbowman of the 100 years war or Tudor period would have shot.
And by modern warbow technique I mean a technique something like this:

2) Are there first hand medieval sources that the technique is derived from ?
Loads of thanks to anybody who can fill us in a bit.
