I got a late Christmas gift from a relative, a four foot spear (not counting the actual blade of the spear), now I have 4 spears (combat usable), 6 axes (2 combat usable, rest decorative), 3 long bows, and a large collection of daggers/knifes. I love my collection <3
I got a compound bow. Tell me, are compound bows tougher on the muscles than longbows? It seems to require a lot more strength, the tension is pretty rough. I used to shoot longbows in summer camp and they were easy to shoot even as a kid, but my compound is rough and it has four strings (well, two looped) instead of just one. Other than that I got a variety of firearms and such.
"A longbow has practical advantages compared to a modern recurve or compound bow; it is usually lighter, quicker to prepare for shooting, and shoots more quietly. However, other things being equal, the modern bow will shoot a faster arrow more accurately than the longbow"
Interesting... I need to get myself a longbow for easier shooting. My compound tires me out after a little bit, but the velocity and power is quite impressive.
