Yea personally i like the long bow although none of my friends agree XD
Tell me about it DeviousDemon!!I've used both types of bows but the worst pain in the ass was the ancient Greek one...Oh the pain!The blisters in my hands are bleeding just thinking about it!You have to be Hercules just to lift the damn thing,let alone draw it, but in the rare occasion one does so, the arrow can land a few yards away with minimum declination from the mark!
I love this author. I've read all the books I can get my hands on. Multiple times. I love this story even more than I first did when I read it a few yrs back, cause I've recently taken up archery. Although, America and Japan seem to have way different bows.
