The osteological evidence is pretty incontrovertible.I'll take a pause here to watch a bunch of Joe Gibbs and Tod's Workshop videos (both of which I highly recommend, now that I've seen them).If he's firing 160 all day then he's doing well. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(y)" title="Thumbs up    (y)"  data-smilie="22"data-shortname="(y)" /> Being able to even draw, never mind fire accurately, a 200lb bow is impressive (Joe is pretty beastly). Does that make him the equal of a professional longbowman from the middle ages? Um, I guess? It's not about me doubting his skill or fitness, just about exactly how well he mimics the medieval reality (which we simply don't know, since all we have is bones and art to go on)). To my eye his technique looks pretty solidly medieval, that's about as far as that gets us. It's certainly not proof positive going either way.</blockquote>
