216 The Shot

"Can it be used?" Prince William looked to Tang Yan and asked.

"Yes, it's perfect." Tang Yan nodded.

Li Guang was a Chinese figure of ancient times, the era when longbows thrived.

Nowadays longbows weren't so popular because they were more physically demanding and weren't as efficient as compound bows, due to their draw curves: with a longbow, the draw curve was essentially linear: so it took more strength to hold a bow the farther you drew it back.

But longbows still offered longer ranges and better accuracy at such ranges than a recurve bow.
