Hey Ron, I too have wondered for years what that chain was on the kolczan. Do you think it could have held a small tool for some kind of repairs? Oh, as you...
The pocket in front would have been for broadheads. The chain is too low to help stabilize those arrows, and they don't need much by way of stabilization. In...
I made (tried to make ) a copy of http://www.kismeta.com/diGrasse/images/bowpol.jpg The bowcase out of leather with a partial wood frame along the curved part...
--Ron, I think there's maybe two pics in good detail of the bowcase and quiver with the bow and arrows in them. I know for sure, definitely one real good pic....
Do you remember our disscusion about the usage of bows by Polish cavalry? I've read about a battle between Polish and Swedish army close to Jaroslaw (it was...
Can you give us more information on this battle? Like why were bows used rather than guns. Were these "lesser" troops and therefore not equipped with guns?...
Tomasz, These were some great pictures. Can you tell us about the troops you are portraying and the uniforms. I don't read Polish so I wasn't able to read...

Hi Radek, What's the last battle/skrimish you know of when the Poles used the bow in battle? Just curious. I have heard a remark or two that'the Poles were...
... **** I've read in the primary source, that the Poles used bows in the battles/skrimishes during GNW. But I don't know is it the last war when the Poles...

I agree with most of Radek's points, but ... The right arrows can be effective against most armour, but possibly not against the thick hussar beastplate. The...
The Turks counted on a bow taking five years to make. Certain work was only done in certain seasons and the curing time for the glue was typically long. The...
-So, Pancerni also yelled out "Hulla, Hulla, Hulla!!!"? Of Tatars? Rik Yes, they did (in that battle). By the way. The Tartar war cry was 'Allah'. Radek...
Ron, I think that different breastplates were enough good against arrows. Prince Zbaraski wrote in his military project from 1629, that bows weren't good ...
Greetings all. I'm drawing a blank on the source of the photos in Francesca's folder. I would greatly appreciate the name of the book so I can try to get it...
