Not to worry, Aleldar. DW is a master of crotcheting... I mean crocheting.

Well sure that helps, but it doesn't possibly follow that just cos you can use a sword, you can use a bow. They are completely different

Technically true, however, an example can be made with the English longbowmen. Archers trained from the early years were incredibly dextrous and many also had skills with swords aswell, taking up ranks with men-at-arms companies. They were often in the midst of hand to hand combat after finishing off men at long range.

I didn't say it wasn't possible to be skilled at both, which is the only thing this little anecdote proves

I am only saying that skill with a sword does not mean skill with a bow, and this isn't an exception

Aye lassy, but it also depends on his hand and eye corrdination.

*sigh* I'm not disputing that. What your post said was that if you can wield a sword, you can wield a bow, but there is very little logic that links the two. So you can swing a sword at someone and hit them... that doesn't mean you can aim an arrow at someone and hit them. It's a totally different skill.

And don't patronise me, laddy

Yes but he did not say that he would instantly be able to hit targets did he? He said he could use a bow, not instantly be amazing with it....

Aye lassy, I re-read what I wrote and edited it. I hope it is to your liking Mistress G.
