Quote:Stefanos,
Yesterday evening at 9pm on the History Channel there was a digging for the truth episode about Troy. On there, the guy went on a reproduction bronze age chariot and shot arrows and threw spears at a target with decent accuracy. So, it is possible to perform these acts from a moving chariot, the only problem being that his target wasn't moving also.
Cheers,
Adam
We know those things can be done, but Gioi was discussing using the chariot in re-enactment against people, I think, which requires much more control.
Thanks to all those of you who have re-registered so far. Someone seems to have had a problem - the entry has no name or other details. If it's somone here, can you amend it, please?

Greetings Comerus,
Quote:No I say so may Arthes do some combat!, I feel bad when she say she would love to fight, but she cant  ...what do you think?
someone I know has asked for details of the bows, they may be able to make one....if I can get the correct wood and stuff... will see what happens there first.....then I have to relearn the art of using one....otherwise it will literally be hop lites or should I say hop 'a' lons.... :roll: :wink:
regards
