>>492980It's alright, tbh, I can see why. As I've got more into longbows and warbows, the mainly elderly population of those sub sections of the sport has made me more chilled, and appreciative of the reasons why the rules are how they are.
Remember, this is 4chan. Trolls Troll.
>>492981I like 'em too, although the bitches prefered my white ones! So my next set are going to be proper livery style, 6 1/4" fletchings etc. It's more how they've been done, rather than the actual fletchings themselves, anyway to be honest.
>>492983I'm more than happy to admit most archers are better than me, despite my long experience, I'm pretty shit with a longbow (although im not bad sighted recurve, and pretty decent barebow)
But you haven't (neither has he) presented any evidence to show he is any good. speed =/=proficiency, just as strength =/= proficiency.
Also, combat proven? When.
No solid evidence, or even anecdotal, anywhere.

This states the mongol bow could hit a range of up to 536m. Now, thats ridiculous and unlikely, but anything about 300 yards, with technology available in that era,. demonstrates mongol bows were between 100-160lbs, as google answers... (basic physics)
