New Article on Blunts and their use in medieval archery

<< < (6/9) > >>

RyanY:
After reading the article and then these comments I do admit that I found my interpretation of the information was different than the point they seem to be trying to convey. First off I did not realize their reference to blunts was of wood heads as opposed to a more blunt steel head. I also agree with Del in that I felt it was talking about the use of blunts, not just in practice, but in warfare as well. Never the less I found some points in the article interesting and its nice to see some people still adamantly researching these subjects. Even if we know how our weapons behave, I feel it's interesting from a historical perspective to research and try to find more closely definitive answers about the knowledge of those in the period.

Also I just have to say that these types of "arguments" is what makes the Warbow forum interesting.  >:D

Don't want to overstep my bounds here but it seems that the majority of comments here in the article add nothing to the original topic, and seem to be "feeding the fire". Mods is there a way to lock it until the original poster has an update? Maybe this sort of back and forth is common (have not seen anything along these lines yet in my limited use of this forum) but it seems to be a lot more hostile than any other posts I have read.

We are all here because we have a common love for primitive archery and a certain level of respect for the history. Can we try to get back on the rails and guide this topic back to those values?

Wills still looking forward to the update on Marks methods of construction and materials used in his blunts and how they perform. Maybe this is all "common sense" to most but for others (myself included) it is an interesting topic that maybe we haven't seen discussed in length.

Sorry don't usually post things like this especially being this new to the community, but this is one community I have come to respect and admire and this is a side of it that I haven't seen before (and don't really care for).
