I'm sorry to say this, but shooting a longbow is an excuse to miss! In my experience, longbow archers are failed recurve archers, it's a dead bow, bury it, get a compound!!If I was still missing after years of shooting it I would be asking myself a few questions as to why. Bring on the flak, I don't care, keep longbows over the fire as a talking point, or better still, light the fires with them!!
shooting longbow is an excuse to miss you say??
why? is there something wrong with the bow?
surely if you take a nice longbow it will be consistant enough to hit every time.... assuming that the archer is good enough
