Re: Crossbows vs. Longbows
It should probably be noted that longbows tend to be fired indirectly, that is, with a high arc, and that the force behind a strike comes from gravity. Now, while the height an archer can put an arrow at is dictated by the energy released firing the bow, he can cheat additional striking power by occupying higher ground (and thus causing the arrow to fall farther than he sent it up).
