Re: Bow accuracy
You are vastly overestimating the accuracy of longbows at range. A quick comparison: - no matter how good archers were, they were at best equal to current olympians - olympic archers use recurves that have much, much better accuracy than historic longbows(better technology, light arrows specifically made for competition) - in perfect conditions competitors can hit a 12.2 cm diameter circle from 70m with a bit over 50% chance, the very best ~90% No matter what the source is, there is just no way random soldiers with bad equipment were performing better than today's elite, at more than 2.5x(!!!) the range. Another comparison, a comfortable range for hunting deer with modern composites is ~40 yards. November 02, 2017, 01:16:29 PM |
