tom swift among the diamond makers

 Nubian archers you have probably never even heard of them before weal now you are and it sparing that you haven't these archer where feared as much as the English longbowman. Probably because of their similarity's each used massive longbows 2 to one and a halve a meter long the one difference was the Nubians had a reflexed tip on the top and bottom of the bow giving more power. Another difference is that the Nubian didn't have a notch for their string to go into they used like a leather thong to hold their string into place reducing the reduction of power> There arrows where made of cane and two different types of wood there points where most likally primitively posioned and most likely theire heads would have had barbs o the heeds of the arrow as well.
