[Archers] For the historically minded and helpful ones..

[Michael]

I would recommend posting your question in the "Archery: historical
replication" or "Archery - primitive bows" forum pages at paleoplanet.net.
There are several European countries represented among the members who post
there, and likely someone may already have the translation you're looking
for. Please do share when you find it!
