Del the cat:

--- Quote from: bassman211 on October 21, 2024, 01:04:15 am ---What comes to my mind is if the long bowmen had to fight the eastern woodland natives on there turf they would have a chance. Trees, rocks, brush to protect them. The plains natives even on horse back would be under dogs, because they would be in the open with short bows that were not nearly as powerful as the English long bows, but who am I to say for sure. JMO WHICH DOESN'T COUNT FOR MUCH.

But, what if the natives were in a submarine and the English in an airship?  ::)

That’s a good one Del. What I do know is the Indians could not beat a Winchester.

They didn't win the war, but every now, and then they won a battle. Custer.

Aaron1726:
But native Americans never faced the long bow, so....  hypothetically I tend to agree the native Americans would have had the advantage due to their speed and agility, both of their bows and their tactics.
