Is that an English longbow, or a child’s model?

I think they were over 6’ long and had over a 100# pull weight. It took years of training to be able to shoot them well.

He’s a crusader for the people, trying to reclaim some of the ill-gotten gains of the wealthy. That’s a universal theme.”

And how did you acquire your wealth, Mr. Grazer?

...reclaim some of the ill-gotten gains of the wealthy.

If I remember my Robin Hood correctly, he robbed the tax collectors and returned the "taxes" to the people from whom they were originally taken.

Yep. Robin Hood didn't steal from private citizens, he stole from the government.

It won’t be the same without the tights. And the aluminum swords.

.......he stole from the government. .....

Not exactly. To be correct, he reclaimed the stolen property of the people and returned it to them.

The same is true of the great American Zorro
