Arrows; light versus heavy

[AuxArcher]

Robert, my understanding is bodkin style points are designed to penetrate chain maile effectively, as well as of course shields and other kinds of armor. They only can be really used effectively with a very powerful bow shooting, as was mentioned, a heavy shaft, and the English warbow folks are about the only ones that I know of shooting that kind of gear. They generally only shoot at very long distances, clout and roving type shooting, to simulate English army tactics of the 14th century. They would be the folks to talk to, such as on primitivearcher.com. Go log in and create a password, free and easy, and you will find a section in the bow forums regarding English War Bows.
