Nonsuch in the 100 years war the bows and arrows were all supplied by the military so when your bow broke or you ran out of arrows you would yell for a new one and a bow or bag of arrows were handed to you.
I have read that after battles they would send out the kids to pick up the arrows, they have smaller hands so it was easier for them to get the big broadheads out of the horses....
If you put the time in you can get very good with any bow really, the thing is you get some people who get one bow thinking they will be the next great thing, then are not so buy a new style of bow and still put no time into it. But see's someone else doing great with a 3rd bow so buys one of those and so on and so on....
I love my Howard Hill bow, but the bow that is in my soul is the English Longbow.
But like G.S. said you should look at one style of bow and work hard on the form for that bow and just try and enjoy the thing.
