For one, I care. Using words that mean what we want to say, make for understanding without unneccesary confusion. An example; When we get sloppy enough to say."I call any bow a longbow. I just like to fire bows and don't care what anybody calls them", then any comment is pointless and nobody learns anything.

Hey, jimmy... don't worry... I don't care either. This post has been hijacked, and has gotten far off track by some posters who like to argue about semantics. "Fire, loose, release, shoot"... really... who cares? This post was originally about warbow speed shooting.

No its been posted to by people who like historic fact not hearsay or old wives tales.
adb why do you try and shoot a warbow, why not just any, I believe its a, 90lb bow? Is one of the reasons because you want to be close to historically correct in the gear you use? The same should then apply to language and the information supplied.

It looks like the difference may be overtaxing your brain. Careful you don't strain yourself. Actually you don't shoot a bow, you shoot the arrow as you shoot a bullet but fire a gun or a piece. {you don't want to mix up those last words in the Marine Corps. They are really fussbudgets about semantics]. You shoot [the arrow]in a bow or with a bow. Or go back to sleep.
Cheers,
Erik
