Why thank you.
Are you a english major?

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 differentOriginally posted by Nippy:

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.

Well nice to meet you.

I didn't say it wasn't possible to be skilled at both, which is the only thing this little anecdote provesOriginally posted by Nippy:

I am only saying that skill with a sword does not mean skill with a bow, and this isn't an exception Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2001 2:16 pm

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.Originally posted by Aleldar:

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....Originally posted by Georgi:
