Do you think that an Olympic weightlifter could do more damage with that same 100lb-resistance bow than you?? After all, he is much stronger than you (an assumption on my part - apologies in advance if I'm wrong  ), so - according to your theory - he should be able to do even more damage with a single arrow since he can hold the string longer or pull it back farther.
Or do you feel that your experience with the bow would make you fairly equal with him, despite his greater strength?

No, but an extraordinarily strong man wouldn't use a 100lb bow - he would find and use a 200lb bow (like middle english longbowmen). *This* would give him extra damage [img]smile.gif[/img]
