Calling all expert archers...
Tolkien states that the Numenoreans at the height of their power (ie Second Age) used steel bows. I can't think of any historical parallels for this, but have seen modern competition bows made from some sort of metal (aluminium?).
Would anyone care to speculate on the advantages and disadvantages of a metal bow?
