An anthropologist friend of mine (who is also a target archer) spent a few years living in Mongolia - she brought back tons of photos of Mongol armour and weaponry (armor porn!).<br>

Several of the pictures show quite clearly a leather washer between the head and shaft.<br>

Again, this cannot be provenenced to any Roman usage, but may be helpful to other archers.<br>
