Am doing a thing about the archery in Wolf Hall (this, if you don't know what it is).
Clip is here, shows Damien Lewis (as Henry VIII) and Mark Rylance (as Thomas Cromwell) shooting:

I don't actually know a ton about longbows, but I'm guessing the actors have been taught by a recurver?
Is that a stand in for Damien Lewis?
What's with the target? Is that authentic Tudor?
Are the shooting bows real? They're usually elastic strings, aren't they?
Thoughts welcome!
