Yeah, I read that thread. It didn't seem nearly as conclusive as the title suggests. The best point I saw was that being able to shoot a lot of things quickly was a bit more helpful (until the rise of the longbowman) than being able to shoot the occasional thing from a long distance. At the very least, both are valid skillsets. They also wandered into a discussion about whether what he was doing could puncture chainmail, ignoring the fact that most of a medieval archer's targets wouldn't have had any, including many knights. Anyway, the interesting part is that if you had asked me yesterday whether I thought Legolas' back-quiver thing was the most efficient way to store arrows before shooting, I would have said yes. But in retrospect, that seems entirely wrong.
