Longbows!!!
Actually it's not a longbow. It's just some kind of bow, I don't know, a recurve bow or a horse bow.
Or just a bow, I guess. Neat stuff.Comments

Interesting how the old manuscripts showed a completely different hold
compared to modern archery. I wonder how arrows are positioned in
kyuudo, given that there's about as much ceremony and tradition in it as
accurate targeting.
Posted by: nnptcgrad at January 23, 2015 05:54 PM (Opyrm)"
They put the arrow on the right side of the bow but they use a Mongolian thumb hold instead of the European two or three finger hold. English longbow men used a three finger hold and put the arrow on the left side of the bow. The bows recovered from the sunken ship the Mary Rose changed the perception of English war bows. The bow with the lightest draw was 90 pounds. The heaviest draw was over 220 pounds. Most of the bows had draws between 120 and 190 pounds.

Not the only variable, so it's hard to say.
You also have to know:
1. Arrow weight
2. Draw length
3. IBO bow speed (used as a sort of standardization measure for bow comparison)
Rough estimate:
1. 350 grain arrow
2. 30 inches draw length
3. 345 IBO
Results in 595 FPS

the justification for not meeting with Bibi now is that the white house does not want to appear as influencing a "democratic election" - how many of his progressive supporters maintain that Israel is an apartheid state? Can someone shout this from the rooftops that has a microphone? that obama just cleared it up for all of us, this administration is on the record now saying that the elections in Israel are IN FACT democratic and not somehow corrupt or whatever, but definitely not that of an "apartheid" state?

I've put the Obama Administration on permanent mute. I don't give half a flying ckuf what it says about anything. Their words are a meaningless drone of a word salad. Whatever they say is wrong, bad for the country, and, yes, has real consequences; but what can you do at this point? We have to depend on an opposition party that won't really oppose.
So I've prescribed to Fuckitol. When this administration speaks, I turn my head, turn the channel, or jab steel Q-tips in my ears, whichever is most convenient.

Seen them before. It's a neat design.
Warhammer's Dark Elves use a design that's similar, with the cartridge box mounted on top of the crossbow. But their design uses the standard trigger instead of the "pump the cartridge" mechanism that the historical bows used.
I'm not sure how well the fantasy version would work in real life.

"Smathers was not selected for the United States representation at the 1957 World Archery Championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia, which was the first championships to which the US sent a full team, but paid his own expenses to attend.[2][3] He went on to win the men's championships in the most successful ever World Archery Championships for the United States, winning all three medals in both men's and women's competitions and both team championships, a record that has not been matched since. Smathers became the first US world champion since Donald MacKenzie in 1933."

I also "sniffled" in court, but my buddies were there. (Stiff upper-lip). We all stood in front of the Mayor and got the list of damages... (over a grand).
At least twenty people who we'd done damage to had shown-up and applauded after the Mayor found us guilty.

I had long hair. Not only did cops look at me a few times, but dudes thought I was a chick.
I got "pulled-up next to" a few times until I looked over after an engine was revved.
I was never a big dude, so I had to look over like I was "concerned" about their sexuality.
Worked 100% of the time. It was the Eighties.

A good friend who owns the bowling alley where I bowl a league at. He went up for bow season for elk last fall and got a bull. I told him that bow hunters have to have much more skill to bag their elk than a rifle hunter and I was impressed and glad he got his elk. He thanked me for the compliment.

Not really ironic. More like - predictable.
The Massachusetts SJWs at the time, like Samuel Adams, wanted guns when the Tories were ruling over them. Now that Samuel Adams is ruling New England, he doesn't want Tories to have guns.
The Tories saw this coming and ran for it.

The Scamp had a bench seat. That cost me another fifteen-hundred bucks.
I took a hard-left around a traffic-circle in a sleepy little development and slid across that bitch.
I wound-up going up on a lawn, (beer may have been involved), and running over a Japanese Maple.
This particular Japanese Maple belonged to a Municipal Court Judge.
As I stopped the car, my buddies yelled, "Go!, Go!, Go!" There was a dude in the driveway of that house who just happened to be the judge's Son.
I stopped because I was concerned about the car and if I ran over someone's tree...
...well. I owed the dude a tree.
Turned-out that it was $1,250.00 for a Japanese Maple.
...and his Municipal Court Judge Father wanted me to donate another $250.00 to Our Lady of Something-Or-Other to keep this "Off the Record".
Yup. That Scamp had stories to tell. Turns out?
...so do I.

Put me in mind of knife making, T.O.Y.S., and atlatls.
Knife making requires fire in most cases, not all. If you need to keep your IR signature low, then...
T.O.Y.S = Tools Of Your Surroundings: remember Reginald Denny and the LA6.
"Atlatl" is one of the dozen or so words in English from the Nahua language.You prolly use one or more of them every single day of your life. A guy in MT has figured out, again, there's more to them than meets the eye. In fact, they prolly were the technology that enabled the extinction of at least two Genera of NoAm megafauna.

Always the false equivalence. And as though they never heard of Saul Alinsky.

Question for the horde: the movie employs the there are 3 kinds of people: sheep/wolf/sheepdog metaphor. The first person I ever knew who used it was Bill Whittle, in a typically brilliant essay he wrote around 2003 or 2004. I came across other writer who used it, but I always thought it originated with Whittle.
Does anybody know if it predates Whittle? I was thinking it is extremely cool if Bill Whittle's essay was read and the metaphor was picked up by either Kyle or the screenwriter and put into the book and movie, where Kyle's dad uses it.

They are always claiming they have been sexually threatened online. Cements their victim status and gives the moral authority in their world.
Now I don't doubt it happens. I'm sure it does and it's disgusting and scary.
But then we have these SJW in meat space who put nooses on their own desks, write themselves terrifying notes and threats, claim they were raped falsely to score political points. I remember the female professor who used Uber, claimed she was raped, and when the Uber driver said no way, her excuse was that she was "raising awareness".
All forms of character assassination can be papered over with " raising awareness". My problem is that these SJW are the same personality types that fabricate victimhood

Gonna violate some HIPAA rules, but what the fcuk...
Back in the day, my dad treated Ernie for some throat issues. We (my brothers and I) were big fans of the show and had my dad get the obligatory signed pics from Ernie: "Hey you little finks, cool it with the boom booms Ghoulardi"...
Dad had warned Ernie to cool it with the cigars.
So we're watching the show on the next Friday night when we notice Erinie's smoking a cigar...again. I yell for my dad to come and see for himself. Dad calls the station and asks to have a message delivered to Ernie - Cool It With The CIGARS.
The folks at WJW did as asked and, on air, Ernie reads the note. Slight double take, and the cigar falls out of his mouth and he says "Sorry Doc!"
Pretty funny to see and Ernie told my dad he thought it was cool that he would call in to remind him to "cool it".

"Perhaps we need a Longbows vs. Crossbows MoMee.
Posted by: All Hail Eris"
That's exactly how the first argument stared Eris, and it had nothing to do with agincourt, it had to do with my amateur history and personal experience, and the other persons historical expertise and amateur understanding of military experience, I sided with the Longbow, for various reasons, and he did too actually, he just wanted to hear my opinion, and then it moved to other variations of military advancement and practice, on a thread that had nothing to do with weaponry at all, which lead to the very unusually developed legend.
As for the second bow, it's a recurve, which is of persian origain, and the Mongols didn't kick mideval armies asses, they kicked constantinian armies asses, and since holy roman armies were either infantry, or horseman so weighted down treating horses as infantry, the light attack skirmisher tacktics won. The midevil armies moved away from cataphract like mounted troups to light armored skirmishers, and the greatest advances that destroyed the nomads was the lance, the stirrup and light leather barding.

There are farms that raise them for their meat. There's one just up the road from me.
Historically, there were small herds of bison in Ohio ~ 1000 years ago, but the Indians hunted them out.

My dad was invited to a Browns game back in '63, my brothers went with him...I didn't, as I was too young. After the game they were invited to go to the Touchdown Club to meet the players and what not. My dad, who was not at all into sports, was being escorted through the room by a patient/client of his and introducing him to various folks.
Somehow the two of them got separated. So on his own, with my brothers in tow, he worked the room. All was well until he went up to one of the players and introduced himself. My brothers knew immediately who it was and tried to save my dad from what was about to transpire.
"Hi, I'm so and so, a guest of who de who. Who are you and what do you do?
"Well doc, I'm Jim Brown and I play for the Browns..."
My brothers were mortified, my dad's host thought it hilarious, and to this day it is a story that get's told when ever we remember the old man.
