Dane,
The kill rate of the English War bow (as it was employed in English warfare) was so high English archers were said to have carried the lives of 24 men in each quiver (of 24 arrows). English arrows were very carefully crafted so they would have been expensive and time consuming to make. Battles like Againcourt were not 'jungle warfare to say the least. Archers were used to concentrate the masses of French soldiers in the middle of the field. When the English archers fired at the sidelines Frenchmen forced their way toward the middle of the field in a panic to get away from the English fire. Archers would then send clouds of arrows into the center of the field where people were forced tightly together. I don't think many arrows missed. Of course, that was as good as it got for the English. It didn't always work.

with 135# I can hit a bale of hay with 2 out of 3 arrows at 80 yards. 1 out of 3 at 100 yards and 3 out of 3 at 40 yards. At 15 yards and less I could put 6 arrows through a pie pan, or a deers heart.
With a 115# bow I can kill running rabbits, squirrels, ect, ect. ::)
Hillbilly:
You must have some pretty damn big rabbits and squirrels up there in Virginny if you need a 115# bow to kill 'em :o ;D
Pappy:
That is some pretty good shooting there Timo,no not pretty good that is real good. :)What would you charge to come to Tennessee and give me some lessons I've been shooting for years and still have a lot of trouble hitting a Squirrel. ;D
