So I was watching the revenant last night. Great flick.
I brings up a question I have had for a while - what were the performance characteristics of historical archers and gear?
I was reading a Cormac mcarthy book about Indians shooting Cowboys with cane arrows from short bows and getting pass throughs. I read Bernard Cornwell books about archers firing 200 yards.
Any thoughts from you self bow guys? What is a good resource for this type of study?
No real purpose just curiosity.
