First picture shown in article
Is there a reason for the picture to show parts A,B,C,1,2,3,4 but with no accompanying legend in the description that lists what those 7 parts are? It seems a bit incomplete to show the labels but nothing attached to those labels in the picture. Would a different picture work better, should there be a reason to have the picture description as it currently is shown? --boldblazer 05:12, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
- Actually came here to ask the same thing; as I'm not the first, I've boldly changed it to an alternative. Hopefully someone more familiar with bows than I can clarify what sort of bow is depicted there. BilledMammal (talk) 04:33, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Bows and arrows in warfare
Given the prominence of bows and arrows in warfare for a thousand years or so, this article is very sparse on the matter (pretty much a single sentence) and needs to be expanded. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:42, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
