Corrected entry: When Maid Marian goes to see what is happening outside of her farm at night, she strings her longbow by bending it against the ground with one hand. It is difficult enough with the correct method (using your legs as a lever, and bending the bow with both hands). To string a 6 foot English longbow from that time the way Maid Marian did would be impossible.

Correction: Wrong, this was the real bow, and what she did with it was absolutely possible, and really not that difficult to do.
