Is anyone here actually arguing that strong bows aren't found everywhere? I don't recall that being the case.

6.Longbows "Arcing"

Some people get the misconception that you using a handbow means you can just go up and over anything. Think about what that means. That means a person would have to pull back on the string at varient lengths.
Or that the person with the longbow is releasing the shot at a different angle to achieve a different trajectory and reach?
