How did people react to the longbow invention?
The medieval longbow was not invented. It was developed by progressively making bows stiffer. The reason this could not be done in a single step was that it took a man years to develop the muscles needed to use such a bow. This being the case, people did not really react to it, because it was not a big change. What was a big change was the use of the longbow in massed formations. English archers in the Hundred Years' War were able to shoot great numbers of arrows that could go right through a knight's armor at long range. Formations of attacking French knights were destroyed. It was a frightful new tactic to mass such weapons.
