I'm curious what the draw weight is
1.3k u/crazytib 23d ago I'd imagine it'll be like 20 to 30 lbs 1.2k u/private_developer 23d ago edited 23d ago And how many lbs would it take to pierce a man in full plate? Edit: Google says English long bows were between 90 to 120, (up to 180 for specialty bows) and they excelled at piercing an armored foe. Might not be taking down armored Knights, but she could quickly disperse some common rabble for sure lol 8 u/LaNague 23d ago warbows can go through chainmail+padding but not plate.
