I think Chris Boulton on the uk list would be the best person to talk to,him being the archery officer.I shall post this mail to him & he can answer in his own {official} words.
Over to you Chris!
Regards,
Mik

As a PS to this posting,if there is one archer you have a good chance of knocking the arrow out of the sky at any poundage of bow just don't expect to be able to do that with more than one archer.They have a habit of waiting till you are distracted before loosing the goose shaft in your direction.With more than 3 archers i don't expect to have a long life on the battle field

Can you get me some link to a source for these? The combat shafts the 
SCA uses are a bit more comical than functional. Some of the heavy 
listers claim you can whack them out of the air if your looking. Both 
my longbows are #65 or better. Are these self bows? I ask because it's 
so hard to get a shaft to bend properly around a handle with low draw 
weight wood bows. That bend is critical to accuracy. I would imagine 
our Viking age friends would have snared small game.
