back to Adonis,
That link was a confusing mess. We had an article on hoplite archery, references to older stuff, and then non-related photos of Greek reenactors using Magyar bows-- diametrically opposing stuff. :dizzy:
You would think, if you were a Greek reenactor, that you might use a modern-made Scythian bow; and I think Persian bows (with no sayahs) are also available... from Csaba Grozer. But what the hell. I'll become a Caveman reenactor and carry a Colt 45. 8)
