Bows - A basic guide to different types

[bigpaul]

i dont like crossbows, i'm told there are problems with pulling back the string need to be built like "arnie" in some cases, also if you lose a bolt thats it, with a longbow is just aim and shoot, aim and shoot all day, if i lose ALL my arrows it is possible to make new ones from nature, after all thats why longbows were invented because you could get all the materials from the woods around you, if a crossbow breaks or needs repair could you get the materials from the woods post shtf? i assume not,mind you i always liked playing Robin Hood as a child, not one of the Sheriff of Nottinghams men!!
