Forums → The Tavern → sword or bow an arrow

depends on the situation. I'd use a bow at 500 yards, I'd use a sword at 5 yards.

If you use a bow at 500 yards, I bow to you and proclaim you a god.

Isn't this just a "ranged weapon/meelee weapon" question? Which does not take into account how hard bow and arrow is to master?

If you want to talk weapons of this type, I would recommend the medieval weapon-thread.
