[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2060166, member: 711"] Don't get too focused on reuse of arrows except in practice. I have killed several critters (alas, no deer) with my bow. Never yet been able to reuse an arrow. Critters killed, hogs, racoon, armadillos, turkeys. For fast deployment, a longbow would be best. I am too weak currently to use one effectively. My compound bow is at its minimum of 50 pounds, and it's a struggle to draw it, but if you have average or better strength it's a good way to go. Longbows were what put knights in armor out of business. Check this out: [url]http://www.longbow-archers.com/historyagincourt.html[/url] The short version is that the Brits kicked the crap out of a much larger French army primarily by the use of longbows, which had an effective range of around 220 meters.
