Senoufou BS: Henry VIII - The Mind of a Tyrant (77* d) RE: BS: Henry VIII - The Mind of a Tyrant 11 Jul 18


Didn't they recently have another look at the bones of Richard 111, and find that he had scoliosis, but also that his right arm was deformed due to what they concluded was drawing bows from an early age?

What would you say, Raedwulf, would be the draw of a light hunting bow?
My husband's tribe, the Senofo, were hunters for centuries, using bows, and would be lightly-built men (speedy but not meaty!) Their prey would have been small antelope etc. Their bows were quite small.

My husband had never even seen a bow, but he recently tried one at the Norfolk Show (a composite longbow-type thing) and scored three bulls eyes one after the other. The chap was amazed and fetched his own bow for him to try. Same thing - perfect aim, although he found both bows heavy to draw.
