So in the middle of an ancient composite and longbow.No problem.You wear proper sports clothing etc. Once the discusssion moved onto variable; Breast size and height etc, I felt I was losing my scientific objectivity on the subject so have no firm conclusions to offer:)<br /><br />As far as I remember in the ancient Greek world, Cretans supplied archer mercenaries.MikeWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455583313857077618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-50516037098584833802017-07-23T08:20:43.445+01:002017-07-23T08:20:43.445+01:00"3.

The mythological Amazons removed their own right breasts so they could aim their arrows better."<br /><br />A niggle with your niggle: From Wikipedia "Among Classical Greeks, amazon was given a folk etymology as originating from a- (ἀ-) and mazos (μαζός), "without breast", connected with an etiological tradition once claimed by Marcus Justinus who alleged that Amazons had their right breast cut off or burnt out. There is no indication of such a practice in ancient works of art, in which the Amazons are always represented with both breasts, although one is frequently covered." Also, if you found that your breasts were interfering with your archery (which they only would if you were using a longbow, which the Greeks didn't), it would be your left breast that would be in the way, unless you were left-handed. Try it and you will see what I mean.Bayardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01390261222706764789noreply@blogger.com
