Osage, we rented and watched the Disney movie, "King Arthur" a couple days ago. I have to say that we thought it was very lousy, on several levels, the primary one being that it is truly boring, not to mention poorly acted.
I was interested in the various bows used, though...seems like a few flat bows made an appearance, that seems wrong to me.
Fun watching it anyway.
Good Evening Sam - Happy New Year. Thanks for the heads up on the King Arthur movie. The bow shooting generally comes under close scrutiny in our house. :-)
Some great archery scenes are in the Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood. All the stunt shooting was done by the legendary Howard Hill. He used an 80 lb longbow and there were no digital shots in those days. Those were real shots.
