"But I think the point that most accomplished archers make their own arrows,
strings, quivers and arm guards versus most heavies that buy all their
armor, weapons and shields is not really a fair comparison.  Not arguing for
or against, just pointing out some things that stand out to me."

 

I Agree! But it isn't period. I think there are many of us that could adapt
to period style equipment and do pretty well. But as long as we are critical
of rattan we need to remember our bows are store bought (not everyone) and
don't really resemble medieval bows.

 

I think the point of all this is no matter where we get are gear and what we
shoot with we do not have a peerage home for the art off archery and
shooting. We do have a place to strive for the art of creating but not being
an awesome skilled archer.
