Ultimately, the bow and arrow fell to the ever-growing arsenal of gunpowder weapons, but the transition was slow. For a long time, gunpowder weapons remained unreliable and inaccurate so, despite the ability to penetrate the metal body armor of the time, engagement ranges were limited by inaccurate weapons. Further compounding the issue was the length of time needed to reload early firearms; a well-trained longbowman could nock and fire several arrows, possibly even a dozen or more, in the time needed to reload a firearm of the day with a single shot.
