    I'm done arguing with you ppl, you can go educate yourselves:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archery

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_longbow (pay attention to where it says "draw weights" and "tactics", verifies everything I've been saying beyond doubt)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurve_bow#Recurve_bow

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_bow

    Except you're trying to apply specific, real-world mechanics in a fantasy world which, by definition of "Fantasy", explores a world based on unrealistic and impossible situations.

    The fact that you're attempting to draw parallels between the real world and the fantasy world on such a specific scale and then saying that "fantasy is doing it wrong" is completely laughable.

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...nVersusFantasy most definitely applies to final fantasy series in general.
