Well those Persina large bows were quite effective considering that without our modern technology they could produce something that is not radically different in energy. Nonethelss, I have to agree that a test should be done with bows of very similar strenght. The extra 10-15 Joules although not staggering might be just enough to render an armor test piece defeated when in reality it may not been.
I also agree with Dan that any material with some thickness will stop a slash to a certain degree.
