you think so?

I'd like to see an actual medieval text that says "loose" in reference to shooting an arrow.

The new translation of the Deeds of Henry V uses it, but that's a Latin text translated into modern English.

>>1813394

Do you think such a thing exists? Do you really think they'd write that stuff down or even have images of it since it was pretty much four commands and then loads of practice? I wouldn't imagine it'd be like a musket drill manual.

It wouldn't need to be drill commands, just a mention in passing. Description of a battle or fight. Description of daily life or as an analogy. Anything would do.

Saying "loose" is likely just as incorrect and anachronistic as saying "fire".

Robert Hardy says fire quite often in relation to bow shooting too btw. He says EVERYONE knows exactly what he's talking about and autists who take exception to it need to get a grip.

Does anything even get that in-depth in the first place? I have always been told the commands were "nock, draw, mark, and loose (or release)."

>>1813450

That's what I'm trying to find out. I've only ever seen them use shoot or shot to describe it in actual medieval and early renaissance texts.

Anything else seems to be modern target archery terminology.

Maybe they just use generic terms for everyone else because no one really cared back then either save for the ones actually doing it.
