--- Quote from: Pat B on July 18, 2009, 12:32:40 am ---I believe the war bow was an artillery weapon and meant to out shoot(distance) the opponents bows. Not meant for short range shooting. Accurate at 200m+ but not necessarily at 20m...although it could be done.
 A heavy weight hunting bow is made for shooting at hunting ranges...but could shoot an adversary at 200m.

Really Pat. If you can be accurate at 200 paces or yards, 20 is a stroll in the park.
On the other hand, the ability to be accurate at 20 does not guarantee the ability to hold a tight group at 200.
For this you would need to be VERY accurate at 20.

I guess what you meant to say that is that higher draw weights (beyond one's optimum) are less conducive to holding a tight group.
