Flatbows found on the Mary Rose?

Backgardenbowyer,
Cross your fingers, ego's and "I'm smarter than you" attitudes fly on this site more than bat's out of a cave. And, about a piece of wood, shaped into a bow that only a handfull of people care about "discharging an arrow" out of. ??? ::) It would be nice to glean some of this knowledge without putting on the boots and wading through so much crap to get to it.

Mullet,
I think that discussions about these bows get heated at times because quite a few people are interested in them, but relatively little historical evidence exists.
Odd thing is, I think there is generally a more tolerant open minded atmosphere when the discussion is about old hornbows, or old native american bows - perhaps because more records and examples exist?
Even though there have been a few intense words, I'm not sure there is too much "crap" as you put it.

Mark;
The "crap" I'm refering to is when the name calling starts it tends to get worse and worse in the Warbow section untill everybody starts getting their feelings hurt. Then the Moderators start getting all the Emails with everbody tattling on each other.
An educated discussion would be a lot more pleasant then all the bickering. I really enjoy reading some of the information you guys have, but after awhile it gets too bothersome to find the knowledge mixed in with the insults.

I do sometimes wonder if the rules should be "no mention of sex, politics, religion and medieval!" ;D
