One may look at the military formations of 17th-19th century and think that a Longbow would be well suited in defeating those using muskets...well there's a reason the longbow wasn't used.

I of course love the English Warbow and traditional archery as a whole. I hear it every so often from the unenlightened folk "why didn't they just use bows from that kind of fighting?" and typically that question is one of general sincerity. The Musket is a massive force multiplier, especially to those that haven't grown up mastering the bow. The crossbow was a happy medium but still outclassed by what musket balls can do to the bio matter of a human. Despite all the technical mishaps in this video it was still a blast to make.
