Brigandines were steel plated armoured jackets popular in the 15thC across large parts of Europe, great against slashing cuts, good against impact, but how good were they against arrows? Shall we find out?

I take my trusty 'Lockdown Longbow'; a crossbow that shoots medieval arrows at the same speed as a 160lbs traditional longbow and shoot 4 types of medieval arrows at a section of a medieval brigandine replica.
