Hey guys,
I have been reading Stuart Gorman's thesis available as a PDF free to download and called The Technological Development of the Bow and the Crossbow in the Later Middle Ages. It's very academic as you might expect a doctoral thesis to be, but has lots of really good stuff in it, I highly recommend it

Tried to down load it... it didn't happen...never got past a load of, pay for this, buy that, click here to see how many times you have been mentioned in learned papers, etc.
The website is user hostile ... :(
It just ensured I started the day grumpy ... saved me working up to it ;D ::)

I tested the link and it works for me, there's no advertising so I do not think it breaks PA rules. If it doesn't work, PM me and I'll email you a copy

Andrew, that kind of link is OK as long as it's not commercial.

I couldn't get past chapter one.....I've got to say there is a lot of cobblers being put forward as fact. It shows a rather muddled understanding of 'how a bow works' and there are plenty of incorrect 'facts' being stated.
I will try and read the rest though and give it a proper chance :)
