What good is this joint if folks can't ask serious questions? Do I need a paid membership here to garner respect?
All you gun websites seem to be the same. Hostile toward non-paying newcomers. It makes me wonder if you all are under one corporate owner in Russia somewhere.
I don’t think we’re the only ones that keep bouncing him...
Sure we do!!!! ahhhhh.... let me send you the account to pay your fees into... you get special benefits like Linefinder’s personal cell phone number! You also get a picture of Zee with his real face which is actually a green swirly blob as opposed to the flesh colored one he shows here. 😁

For a limited time, paying members receive a personally autographed photo of Zorba in his MOST revealing costume! XoXoXo

WHY am I contemplating spending $ for that? For the auto of course....
Well, he's undoubtedly still reading anyway, so here:

I mean, sheesh! I am the only guy that studies this stuff?
Think Agincourt.
Nah. The Neanderthals that could actually pull the draw weight on a real English war bow are pretty much extinct. Then again, so are the guys that could pound out your diamond-plate undershorts.
Really though, the clown was asking about what to do when drawing against an already drawn weapon. I think the correct answer to that is probably "Most likely? You will die"
Beyond the absurdity of the question itself, the simplest solution is to just move! (at right angles to the shooter preferably)
On average a bow will launch an arrow somewhere between 225 and 300 feet per second (fps). A slow person can cover about 21 feet in 3 seconds (7 fps). A quick person can cover that distance in about 1.5 seconds (14 fps). Doing the math at 25 yards (75 feet) this gives you about 1/3 to 1/4 of a second to get out of the way. Add to that the reaction time of the guy with the bow (finally realizing that you're not just gonna stand still and make it easy for him, another 1/2 second) and the odds become increasingly lower that you'll be hit once you start moving, (3/4 second x 7 fps = 5.25 feet). If you stop moving, now you're a target again.
Folks who are skilled with a bow have a better chance of hitting a moving target but luckily not too many highly skilled bowmen out there looking to commit nefarious crimes.
