I had no clue about sinew being used on the string. Just by looking at medieval style bows I saw nothing on the string in pictures where they were shooting and regular and had to draw a conclusion. But hey, learn something new every day!
And as far as the body building goes, unless you already had a decent amount of muscle on you, I doubt you could just pick up a bow and start shooting as the draw weight would have to be a good 45 pounds to kill just a deer. This is what I was referring to as some players describe themselves as feeble and rather thin but being able to pull back an adult sized bow capable of killing a deer. That analogy just doesn't add up.
That being said, you make a good point about gaining bodybuilding from that. However, if you can pull that back already without any further enhancement on the limit and without pushing yourself further with more draw weight, how would that be working the muscles to any further extent required to tear them and then make them stronger?
Another thing, perhaps that glove should be an item added to the price list?
Good points indeed, Jason.
