First and foremost, your books are amazing! Your archery scenes are amazing! Sir, it is near sacrilege that you have not at least written a short story of Robin Hood! If there is one author qualified to do so, it is you. However, that’s not my question. Thomas would place a branch/stick in the ground vertically and attempt to hit it. This seems to have been a very common practice at the time, and made me wonder if the stories of Robin Hood splitting arrows actually referred to him splitting an arrow as it was placed in the ground vertically. The would seem to make more sense. I have a question concerning the archery scenes in your books. In Agincourt it describes Nicholas holding his arrow in place with his thumb, implying that the arrow is resting on the knuckle of his thumb instead of the knuckle of his index finger. Most of the archers i know rest the arrow on the knuckle of their index finger. Was it more common in that time period to rest the arrow on the thumb?
