If you wish to use the modern corner of the mouth anchor point, which has no place in warbow shooting or in this forum, you might as well also use the arbitrary 28 inch arrow length that goes with it. Erik

Apparently I have been here under false premises. I am sorry for besmirching the very honor of this worthy society of Primitive Archery by my ignorance and poor form. I shall go away and never stain the website with my corner-of-the-mouth anchor point. For that matter, I shall endeavor to replace all my modern cloth garments with half dressed skins, dig the modern fillings from my teeth, eschew modern medicine and dentistry altogether and do away with the use of the unclean computer by which I have been posting my heathen and heretical rantings. Goodbye all, I shall miss you all.
Well, most of you anyway. >:D

yup thems my feelings too
this site isnt the only one for primitive
on the others no one would bitch about the way i draw or where i anchor
eric i have a q or two for you
why would i have to have realy long arms,just cause i like long arrows
alot of tribal people to this day still shoot,what we would consider ,excessivly long arrows
how do you know exactly how people drew their bows or anchor point were in primiitve times,and i aint talking about midevil london here
i mean primitive times like paleo times and before.
persoanlly i dont give rats backside what the elb society does

HoBow:
Erik- you need to get over yourself and weird rules you think run this forum. Who cares if you pull to your chest or a foot behind your neck ???
JW_Halverson:
Hmmm, good point. We are going to have to set up a filter so that the people on Papua-New Guinea cannot post on here becaue the stupid heathens are shooting 48-55" arrows. And they aren't even fletching them like all primitive arrows are supposed to be. Global Moderators! You have your assignment. Ban the P-NG people!

JW—Please don’t pretend to be insulted. The people in Papua-New Guinea {and the Amazon ] are primitive archers and of course their archery belongs on a Primitive Archery forum. Victorian archers have their own forum. Nothing wrong with that, but Victorian archery is not primitive archery.
Sailordad—Answer to your Q or two.
Q--why would i have to have realy long arms,just cause i like long arrows

A--You would have to have really long arms to get a 30” arrow measuring from your mouth to the web of your bow hand as you said you did.
Q--how do you know exactly how people drew their bows or anchor point were in primiitve times,and i aint talking about midevil london here
i mean primitive times like paleo times and before.
A-- I don’t know the anchor points in all primitive or paleo times. I do know that the corner-of the-mouth anchor point belongs to Victorian times and later, not primitive times.
I don’t give a rat’s backside how you draw or even if you prefer an AK47, but that doesn’t mean it belongs in a primitive archery forum.

"You would have to have really long arms to get a 30” arrow measuring from your mouth to the web of your bow hand as you said you did."
Arrow length doesn't need to have anything to do with draw length. I draw 28" to the corner of my mouth but have some 31" arrows. It's a very easy way to decrease spine of an arrow. Tim said he used 30" arrows, he DIDN'T say he had a 30" draw....
You really are a disagreeable person there Eric. I'm not sure I understand the motivation behind your presence here. It seems you have an obsession with being historically accurate. That's valid IF someone is representing their equipment as such but as I pointed out earlier VERY FEW here do. We just make wood bows and enjoy shooting wooden bows. The majority doesn't care how you draw, if you used power tools or epoxy glues. Your elitist exclusionary attitude is not what "Primitve Archer" is about. Not sure if you've ever read a PA magazine but it's obivous if ya read one that corner of the mouth draw is more than acceptable here at PA.
