D&D General Shillelagh on a Longbow?

[Paul Farquhar]

Because a stick is the most basic weapon there is and it's something medieval Englishman would have had easy access to. I don't know how tough an English long bow might be, but I'm having a hard time thinking you can use it like a quarterstaff and still have a decent bow at the end.

The army travelled with spares.

An English longbow had a draw weight of up to 150 to 180 pounds (historians disagree). This was not a lightweight piece of wood.

Besides, shilleligh makes it into a magic weapon.

looks like a decent quarterstaff for me... I would hurt like hell if smacked on the head.

You run out of arrows at some point, so sure.
