Now carry it around for a bit, then try reaching in there and grabbing one out in 4 seconds or so ready to use. Bearing in mind that trigger guards and safeties weren't generally around then.As to the original question: Think of how much strength is required to use a warbow; not just to draw it, but to keep it steady when drawn to aim. Now consider doing that with a weight strapped to your aiming arm and holding the shield handle as well as the bow in your hand.</blockquote>
