Range
Any fool can throw. Practice means that the fool might hit home.The use of any missile weapon requires practice and discipline, particularly if the enemy are firing or fighting back. Slings, javelins and bows were common weapons, and many troops were highly skilled in their use. The Parthian shot was a famed tactic of shooting while galloping away from the enemy, hopefully encouraging the more foolish among the targets to pursue, be cut off, and cut to shreds. Skirmishers were trained to harass, delay and annoy the enemy before the battle was joined, and to keep enemies from doing the same to their own side. In the east, the compound or recurve bow was in common use: unlike the self bow which is a single piece of wood, it was made from many different layers that each added to its strength. Sinew, horn and wood were glued together to make a strong, springy whole. The dry climate helped, because compound bows need to be kept free from damp, otherwise the animal glues used to build them start to decay.
