You don't get people to wait with a shitload of pounds of force trying to wriggle out and launch an extremely heavy arrow.

If your arms were to tire, you would be useless as an archer, so why the heck would they even try to do it.

You're contradicting yourself or just strawmanning my post as well. I wasn't talking about tiring from a "fire when you want" scenario. I was clearly talking about tiring from "volley" fire. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, don't archers use straw men as their targets typically?

Learn what strawmanning is, read up on how longbow archery worked. I'm done here.
