Horn Bow or Rus Bow.

Well, I have a problem, and also lot of time to solve it (3.3 mil left to 31lvl).
So, I want to back to the archery, and then after all those patches, nerfs and whatevah, I have pretty big problem to choose between Horn or Rus.

Horn. High speed, and with build 15/24 very accurate and long holding dative, I also think about getting tatar arrows for this bow, because of it's number, I mean guys need to be hitted more than from Rus Bow, and it's like small machine gun.

Rus. Slow, but not as longbow, I'm thinking about 18/21 build, with bodkins, cause it's more like rifle :D And what's the average shots with 6 PD +1 Rus +1 Bodkins in guy with... 50 armor.

Thanks for all advices ;)

But why longbow? Why would you make yourself a worse character just for... for what? +1 arrow speed and +3 cut dmg? Haha, you lose too much on that deal to even consider it.

Well that's not a big difference, if you ask me. You can get pierce with any bow, Rus included. Not a point.

Hmm Arn, if you seek for a machine gun...

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

Strength: 12
Agility: 27
Hit points: 49
Skills to attributes: 8
Ironflesh: 1
Power Strike: 0
Shield: 0
Athletics: 9
Riding: 0
Horse Archery: 0
Power Draw: 4
Power Throw: 0
Weapon Master: 9
One Handed: 1
Two Handed: 1
Polearm: 1
Archery: 172
Crossbow: 1
Throwing: 1

Tatar Bow with Bodkin arrows. You can "outspam" any archer you like, because noone actually uses bow faster than Tatar. With pierce dmg the difference between Horn Bow and Tatar is really low (2dmg), and you can be exactly same accurate as Horn Bow (same stat), but you have more wpf to do so.

But the biggest downside of Tatar is that you HAVE to use Bodkin arrows so you can spam your arrows at Tincans and make it hurt them. Or skip Bodkins and focus on peasants :)

Well, I'm very grateful for those advices, but I'm already sure, that I won't make 33 lvl, and won't use Tatar Bow, or Longbow. I just wanted to ask which one is better. I'm going to do STF, when it cooldowns, but I hope you'll help me better ;)

And still the most "hot" question - HOw long can I hold Horn Bow with 172 wpf, and cloth less than 7.5 kg. Really thanks.
