Message: <blockquote data-quote="FitzTheRuke" data-source="post: 9775854" data-attributes="member: 59816">I know that one can't  always trust reenactment for historical accuracy, but I once saw a row of archers fire their bows and then cover themselves against returned fire with their bucklers. It was enough to make it believable to me that such a thing could be done.It's also my experience (25 years of martial arts unrelated to the afore-mentioned reenactment) that the difficulties and drawbacks of various weapons and techniques are so different from what people imagine, that any inaccuracies that something like allowing a buckler to work with a bow might add to the game - would pale compared to the inaccuracies that already exist.If that makes any sense.</blockquote>
