[quote=@Iuniper] As someone who can't do a chin/pull-up and shoots 50lbs, I beg to differ, as much as I hate admitting that I'm weak. (For science!) English longbows were as heavy as 180 lbs of draw weight, though I don't know anyone personally that shoots more than 125 just because it is incredibly exhausting and kind of dangerous. From my experience, most modern Mongolian Horsebow users only shoot 40 to 60 lbs which is still pretty powerful. In my opinion, Alaron probably uses a standard barebow given that that's the only type available in the game. [/quote] We must have wildly different sources in draw weight, (I was referring to the Khan era of Mongolian Archers) as for English Longbow, I could have been misinformed... *Checks other websites* So it seems I was! Apparently English Longbows were very versatile in their draw weights. If Alaron does use a barebow, I am not sure if that would not be enough to kill someone. But that's hardly the point of conversation here. I have not shot a bow in many years, but I do workout often (My ship date for USMC bootcamp is in 5 months) so it just caught my attention. I was also not even a teenager the last time I shot a bow, so children are weaker than grown men :p Regardless, I'll stop harping on about it. It is a universe where elves and trolls exist, so I'll try not to add too much realism to it.
