Longbow versus breastplate - which will win?

A 130lb bow with a very hard arrowhead shooting at a steel breastplate at twenty yards. Will it penetrate? Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Lindybeige Shot in Visby, 2016. Many thanks to my guide Johan Käll, the armourer Albert Collins, and to Stian Green for providing the reverse-angle footage and the still of the arrowhead.
