bow length
bradsmith2010:
you have to figure that any bow that was used in war, ,was probably effective,, same with the Native bows,,
they were using the different length bows for a reason,, or how they perfromed in a given situation,,war or hunting,, we dont have videos or much documentation of guys shooting 1000's of years ago, I have a feeling they were pretty good shots with the bows they chose to shoot in war,, that might have been a longer eastern style war bow,, or a short horse bow,,but alot of knowledge was lost back then and we speculate alot about how it really was,, :)
BowEd:
There's a lot of footage about Howard Hills feats of accuracy.Even shooting for Robin Hood movies.
BTW a person can shoot a quarter with a long bow close range.Howard shot aspirins out of the air.
bradsmith2010:
I know that Ed, I threw asprin for Bryon Ferguson for some exibitions,, I saw it close up,, he was shooting a long bow too,, :) that arrow wizzing by from a 70# long bows was somthing to behold,, :) whew,,
DC:
You mean it was the archer hitting the aspirin?? And I thought the talent was throwing the aspirin up so the arrow would hit it. ;D ;D
bradsmith2010:
that's right thats what I meant to say,, I threw the asprin in front of the arrow, it was tricky,, but I did it,, :)
