When did they break Archery ?

[J4G 92]

 ...So, I'm a bit puzzled about what gets them stuck...

 

Totally OT, but seems that we have some "invisible walls" that make even players stuck, mostly at fields. It can be that?

 

Back to topic, Was there some rumours about complete overhaul of bows?

<< Dr. Bill estimates an "expert bowman can easily discharge six arrows per minute." Colonel Dodge’s description is equally compelling; “He will grasp five to ten arrows in his left hand, and discharge them so rapidly that the last will be on its flight before the first has touched the ground…”>> (see link)

IMO Lars Anderson is not much to do with bowmanship

BUT - this link is a good interesting read about arrows in warfare on the frontier and in the American civil war - real life recorded info. and first person observations: arrow design, use, advantages, speed, silence, wounds, effectiveness    http://ehistory.freeservers.com/vol2/Arrow%20Wounds.htm  (I think this is great stuff, but check from para. 7 if you don't want to read it all)

With a 45 lb no-sights recurve I can hold two or three arrows under the little finger of my bow hand, no problem (45 is no big deal, right?) some folk can hold a sheaf and still shoot. I've seen people hold a spare in their draw hand, shoot crouched and lay their arrows on the ground, use a back quiver, a belt quiver, carry them in a piece of plastic sanitary pipe on a cord sling ... 

 

For warfare when you intend to shoot off 30 maybe 60+ arrows - then OK you need a way to carry them.
