Abstract
This essay looks at the fragmentary evidence documenting the marches of the bow shooting fraternities, festive groups connected to the guilds that paraded in great numbers through the streets of London in the 1580s. Situating their activities within the larger history of the longbow as a peculiarly English weapon, the essay argues that these marches worked to install a mercantile, imperialist ideology in the bodies of the marchers and the streets they paraded through.
