no doubt, I'd bet on the man with the long bow any day over a man with a musket. Long bows are crazy lethal in the right hands.

now we are officially and completely off subject :)

Oooooh....., don't get me started on Long Bows and flint tipped arrows.

My first passion is traditional archery (38 years now).

for what it's worth... Washington, Jefferson and several other "founding fathers" were really big time brewers... not just distillers. Washington was famous for his Porters, and brewed many, many casks per year
