How Heavy Were Iron Age Bows?
#1
The heavy bow enthusiasts from 15th/ 16th century living history sometimes project their ideas on antiquity. In the first post in this series, I look at the evidence for heavy (> 100 lbs draw weight) bows in the first millennium BCE. Future posts will cover the evidence which does not fit this model.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
